Installing the hardware
To install the ZeptoMux in a rack:
1.
Before installation, review the section
Safety and installation warnings
on
page 6.
2.
Ensure that the installed fans and power supplies have airflow directions
matching the rest of the rack, and that there are no obstructions over the
rear inlets/outlets.
3.
Plug power cables into the ZeptoMux and place the mains end in a
convenient location.
4.
Clip the supplied rack-mounting nuts into the rack (
Figure 8
).

5.
Slide the ZeptoMux into the rack (
Figure 9
) and hold it level while you screw
in the supplied bolts. You may need two people due to the weight of the
ZeptoMux. Alternatively, remove the power supplies while installing to
reduce weight at the rear of the device.

6.
Plug your SFP+ modules into the ports of the ZeptoMux (
Figure 10
). The host
port is port 1. To operate the ZeptoMux, there must be an SFP+ module in
port 1 and at least one SFP+ module in any one of ports 2 to 24. The
ZeptoMux shown in
Figure 10
has SFP+ modules plugged into all 24 ports, but
you may use fewer modules if you wish.
