20 Installing a Stand-Alone Control Module
Positioning the Stand-Alone Control Module
The first steps in setting up a stand-alone control module involve locating and positioning the control
module. For more information on location specifications, see the
Scalar i6000 Planning Guide .
1 Verify the placement of the control module.
2 Verify the following:
• There is an AC outlet within 10 feet (3.05 m) of the control module’s location.
• There is adequate clearance for the access and service doors.
• The selected location is level using the instructions in Verifying the Level of the Install Location on
page 321.
• All raised floor tiles have been cut out accordingly to accommodate the power, SCSI, Fibre, and
Ethernet cables to the control module.
3 Position the control module in its intended location.
4 Verify that the control module is positioned correctly.
5 Ensure that the leveling legs are not resting on tiles that will need to be raised to accommodate cables
after the control module has been installed.
Lowering the Leveling Legs
Required tools: 24 mm open end wrench, 6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench.
1 Use the 24 mm open end wrench to loosen the four locking nuts on the four corner legs.
2 Lower the four corner legs by hand until they touch the floor.
You may have to use the 6 mm hex wrench or 16 mm open end wrench to turn the legs if the threads
do not turn freely.
CAUTION
If you do not loosen the locking nuts, you may strip the threads on the
leveling legs during movement.
Note
To ensure even weight distribution on the legs, it is very important that all
legs be brought into contact with the floor without lifting the module.
You can verify whether a leg is in contact with the floor by attempting to
slide a piece of paper underneath it.
