Installing the Chassis into a Rack
Enterasys NAC Controller Hardware Installation Guide 3-3
When installing the switch on a flat surface, the installation of the rubber feet is recommended to
prevent the switch from sliding on a flat surface. Installing the rubber feet is optional if you are
installing the switch in a rack. To install the rubber feet, proceed to
“Installing the Rubber Feet ”
instructions below. For instructions to rack mount the switch, proceed to “ Installing the Chassis
into a Rack ” on page 3.
Installing the Rubber Feet
To install the rubber feet proceed as follows:
1. Place the switch on its back on a sturdy flat surface to gain access to the bottom of the chassis.
2. Remove the four rubber feet from their plastic bag in the shipping box.
3. Locate the four marked locations on the bottom four corners of the chassis.
4. Remove the protective strip from the back of one rubber foot and position it on a marked
location and press firmly into place. Repeat this procedure to install the remaining three
rubber feet in the other three locations.
5. After installing the rubber feet, return the switch to its upright position.
6. For a rackmount installation, proceed to “ Installing the Chassis into a Rack ” on page 3 .
Installing the Chassis into a Rack
The Enterasys Matrix N1 Chassis can be mounted in a standard EIA‐310‐D compliant
48.26‐centimeter (19‐inch) equipment rack. To mount the chassis into a rack you must allow at
least 60 centimeters (24 inches) of clearance in front of the rack for chassis installation. Then decide
whether to install the chassis on a shelf in the rack, or to attach the chassis directly to the rack.
Installing the Chassis on the Rack Shelf
To install the chassis on a rack shelf:
1. Keeping the above Caution note in mind, locate the position on the rack where you will install
the shelf.
2. Refer to “ Installing the Rubber Feet ” on page 3.
3. Align the four holes in the ears of the shelf with those in the rack, then fasten the shelf to the
rack using four of the screws supplied with the rack.
4. After installing the shelf, proceed to install the Enterasys Matrix N1 Chassis as described in
“
Installing the Chassis Directly to the Rack ” on page 4.
Caution: Read Chapter 2 before completing the following procedure to ensure that all installation
guidelines are met.
Precaución: Antes de llevar a cabo el siguiente procedimiento, lea
Chapter 2 para y asegúrese de
cumplir con todos los requisitos de instalación.
Note: In order to prevent a possible interference between the rack frame front and chassis rack
ears, the tapped rails may need to be adjusted such that they are recessed approximately 2 inches
behind the rack frame front. If the rack has a front door, this distance may need to be slightly more
depending on the door thickness.
