1 UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS This chapter contains important instructions and information about the shipping box that you have opened. Because this guide is included in the shipping box of every item in the Switch 4005 product set, this guide may contain more information than you need. However, you should be able to easily locate the information that applies to the box that you have opened.
CHAPTER 1: UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS Unpacking a Chassis Your chassis will have the following preinstalled components: ■ One power supply ■ Two fan trays ■ Either of the following: ■ A Switch Fabric Management Module OR ■ A Switch Fabric Management Module plus a specified set of interface modules. This configuration may be labeled as a starter kit on your sales paperwork.
Unpacking a Chassis 9 3 By the time you read these instructions, you will have already opened the shipping box. If you followed the instructions that are printed on the outside of the shipping box, you turned the box 90 degrees from its shipment position before you opened it. This position allows you to easily pull and slide the contents out of the box laterally, rather than to lift them vertically out of the box.
CHAPTER 1: UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS 9 Save the foam supports and plastic bag in case you need to pack up and move the chassis to a different site, or in case you need to return the chassis to your network supplier or to 3Com.
Unpacking a Module Unpacking a Module 11 3Com offers individual Switch 4005 modules for purchase so that you can: ■ Add modules to the empty slots in a chassis. ■ Have spare modules in storage at your site to meet service requirements or network expansion.
