the Power Cord
A power cord is supplied with all NETBuilder II chassis. If the power cord does
not match your requirements, contact your network supplier for assistance.
The AC power switch is marked according to international I/O convention:
When you press the I side, the switch is on; when you press the O side, the
switch is off.
Make sure the power switch is turned off (O), and plug the power cord into the
AC power receptacle on the back of the chassis.
Installing the Cable
Strain-Relief Bracket
The cable strain-relief bracket is a wire-form metal bracket. This bracket is not
necessary for systems mounted on a tabletop, but it is recommended for
rack-mounted systems.
To install the cable strain-relief bracket on a 4-Slot chassis, follow these steps
(no tools are needed):
1 Secure the bracket to the rear of the system.
The ends of the bracket slide into four holes on the back of the chassis (see
Figure 1-6).
