• In a shelf installation, the shelf must be able to support 13.6 kg (30 lb) of static weight for each
device on the shelf.
• Maintain a temperature of between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F) at the installation site with
fluctuations of less than 10°C (50°F) per hour.
• Maintain a two-inch clearance for each side and the back of the device for adequate ventilation.
Installing Interface Modules
Depending on your specific application, install Cableton Systems WAN Port Interface Modules
(WPIMs) and the CSX-COMP/ENCR modules into the CSX400 before proceeding with the
installation of your CSX400. Refer to the Installing Ethernet Port Interface Modules (EPIMs),
Installing WAN Port Interface Modules (WPIMs), and CSX-COMP/ENCR Installation
sections within this chapter for installation instructions.
Installing Ethernet Port Interface Modules (EPIMs)
This section contains procedures for adding or replacing an Ethernet Port Interface Module
(EPIM) to upgrade or change the capabilities of your CSX400. After installing your new EPIM,
refer to Chapter 5, Ethernet Cabling Requirements, for network configuration guidelines.
Appendix A, EPIM Specifications, provides specification information on Cabletron Systems
EPIMs.
!
CAUTION
The EPIMs and WPIMs, and CSXCOMP/ENCR for the CSX400 are sensitive to static
discharges. Use a grounding strap and observe all static precautions during
installation. Failure to do so could result in damage to the EPIMs, WPIMs, CSXCOMP/
ENCR, and the CSX400.
NOTE
The CSX400 must have at least one EPIM and one WPIM installed before you can
begin configuring the device.
!
CAUTION
Before performing installation procedures, ensure that the requirements outlined in the
section, Guidelines for Installations, are met.
