Installation
1. Locate a suitable location in the rack/cabinet within reach of an easily accessible
grounded AC outlet (100~240 VAC) to mount the chassis. The chassis itself requires
2U of space within the rack.
NOTE: Allow at least 10cm (4in) clearance at the front of the ETCHS2U for the fiber
and other copper cables
2. If the rack uses square mounting holes, install cage nuts (sold separately) into the
square mounting holes on the front posts of the rack.
3. Place the chassis into the rack and align the mounting points on the front brackets
of the chassis with the mounting points on the rack (e.g. the cage nuts, if used).
4. Use the appropriate cabinet screws (sold separately) to secure the chassis to the
rack.
5. Make sure the screws are properly tightened and the chassis has no movement
before attempting to place any media converter cards into the chassis.
6. Connect the appropriate power cord for your region to the grounded AC outlet.
Media Converter Card Installation
The ETCHS2U chassis supports the full line of StarTech.com ET series 2 media
converters, which can be installed in a mixed fashion to suit your environment. The
cards are designed to be hot-swappable, meaning the chassis need not be powered off
in order to remove or insert a card.
1. If the chassis slot was previously unused, loosen the screw at the top of the slot to
remove the cover plate
2. Loosen the captive screw located at the top of the ET series 2 media converter to
remove it from its casing
