Step 3. Set up the Chassis

Caution

Follow proper ESD precautions to ensure you are grounded before installing the

hardware.

1.

Power off and unplug the chassis.

2.

Set the chassis address switches to off. In the following figure,
all switches are shown in the off position.

Note

Older chassis use jumpers inside the front panel, instead of chassis address switches.

Older chassis also differ in fuses and AC power selection. Refer to the chassis
documentation for more information.

3.

Confirm the correct power settings (100, 120, 220, or 240 VAC).

4.

Connect the power cord.
