2.4.1 Installing the IP Platform
After you have verified the installation site, install the AlphaServer IP Platform by
performing the following steps:
1. Position the cabinet, allowing a 60.96 cm (24 in) minimum rear aisle clearance and a
76.2 cm (30 in) minimum front aisle clearance.
2. Level the cabinet using the four-point leveling hardware.
3. If a -48 Vdc power inverter is installed in the platform, bolt the AlphaServer IP Platform
to the floor at the cabinet base using the front and rear shipping brackets (and optionally
at the top, using the appropriate central office conforming hardware). Local codes may
prohibit bolting the cabinet to the floor if H7600 power distribution units are installed.
4. Connect to the network hardware (see Section 2.4.1.1).
5. Connect the IP Platform to the appropriate power supply. See Appendix C for
instructions on wiring the -48 Vdc controllers if your system has them installed. Refer to
the power ratings listed on the cabinet part number label located at the rear of the cabinet
above the door.
6. Verify the hardware setup. Before you turn on the system, check to ensure that the IP
Platform is properly secured, and the power controller and network hardware connections
are correct.
7. Power up the system. See Section 3.2.
