Install the chassis in a rack.
Because of the weight of a fully loaded chassis
(97 lbs minimum), Foundry recommends
mounting a chassis in a rack before installing
the modules and power supplies.
“Installing a Chassis in a Rack” on
page 3-5

The chassis ships with a slot panel installed in
all module slots that don’t currently have a
module installed. If you plan to install a module
in a slot, you must remove the slot panel.
CAUTION:
If you do not install a module in a
slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If
you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the
system will overheat.

Install the management module and interface
modules in the chassis
“Installing the Management and
Interface Modules” on page 3-7

Attach a management station to the
management module’s serial (Console) port or
a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port.
“Attaching a Management Station” on

Power on the AC power supplies.

After the chassis is powered on, observe the
LEDs or display the status of the modules using
the CLI to determine that the chassis is
operating properly.
