Depending on your order, your shipment may also contain some or all of the following:

Installing the Chassis
Cabletron recommends that only qualified personnel conduct installation of any SSR
chassis.
This section contains procedures for the following types of installation:
• Tabletop Installation
• Rack mount Installation
Tabletop Installation
You can install the SSR on a tabletop.
1. Select a table that is stable (not wobbly) and is not in an area subject to frequent foot
traffic. Remember that you will be attaching numerous cables to the chassis.
2. Place the SSR on the table, allowing at least 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) of room above
and behind the unit for air flow to the cooling fans.
Rack Mount Installation
You can install the SSR in a standard 19” equipment rack. The SSR chassis is equipped
with front-mounting brackets. Figure 27 shows an example of how to install an SSR 8600
chassis in an equipment rack.
