2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis up and running.
Following the steps in order given should enable you to have your chassis set up
and operational within a minimal amount of time. These instructions assume that you
are an experienced technician, familiar with common concepts and terminology.
2-2 Warnings and Precautions
You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier
who delivered your system.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the chassis. It should be
situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat,
electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated.
Place the chassis near a grounded power outlets. The SC842 chassis includes a
power supply which requires a grounded outlet.

into an open (two-post) rack. Optional mounting rails are available for installation
of the chassis into a four-post rack. Part numbers for these mounting rails may
