Installing a MAX TNT Chassis
Read the guidelines before installing your MAX TNT unit in a cabinet or chassis. If you install
it in a cabinet, install an exhaust shield on the unit. To provide an interface for the unit’s initial
configuration, you have to connect the serial port of the primary control module to a
workstation. Before applying power to the unit, verify that a card is present in the top PCMIA
slot of any installed control modules. Also verify that power supplies are properly grounded
and that all desired slot cards (expansion modules) are installed.
!
Warning:
Before installing your MAX TNT unit, be sure to read the safety instructions in the
Edge Access Safety and Compliance Guide. Also read Appendix C, “Safety-Related Electrical,
Physical, and Environmental Information” in this hardware installation guide for information
specific to your product.
Guidelines for installing units in a rack or cabinet
Keep the following information in mind when installing MAX TNT units in a rack or cabinet:
•
You must install an exhaust shield on the exhaust side of each MAX TNT unit to ensure
that hot air from one unit is not being blown into adjacent units. The exhaust side is on the
left as viewed from the front of the unit. See “Installing a MAX TNT exhaust shield” on
page 3-6.
•
Do not concern yourself with air gaps between MAX TNT shelves on a rack, because the
unit’s fans sufficiently cool each shelf.
