Installation Location
Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and equipment. Allow at least
3" of space at the front of the device for the fiber-optic and power cabling. Also, allow a minimum of 3" of space
between the sides and the back of the device and walls or other obstructions.
Removing Extra Shipment Screws (FSX and FSX 800 only)
The FSX and FSX 800 ship with two extra screws installed in the right side of the chassis. These screws secure
the fan tray, protecting it from damage during shipment. You must remove these screws before installing the
chassis. Figure 3.1 shows the location of the screws.
To perform this task, you need a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.

Installing a 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.
In a standard 19-inch (EIA310-D) rack, you can install up to seven FSX or FSX 800 chassis devices, or up to three
FSX 1600 chassis devices. You can flush mount the FSX and FSX 800 using the built-in mounting brackets on
the front of the device. Alternatively, you can use the optional rack mount kit to center the chassis in a rack. The
FSX 1600 does not have built-in mounting brackets. To mount the FSX 1600 in a rack, you will need to install the
brackets in the rack mount kit that ships with the chassis, as shown in figure Figure 3.4.
Before performing this task, you should have an assembled rack and a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
Keep the following in mind when mounting a chassis in a rack:
WARNING: The Chassis devices are very heavy, especially when fully populated with modules and power
supplies. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN LIFTING, HANDLING, OR MOUNTING THESE
DEVICES.
WARNING: Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming
unstable or falling over.
