Environmental Requirements
The installation site must meet the environmental requirements listed in Table 1-7.
Setting Up the Backbone Link Node
We recommend that you install your BLN in an electronic enclosure rack and use
angle brackets for added support. If you choose not to use angle brackets when
installing the BLN, proceed to “Installing the BLN,” later in this chapter.
Attaching Angle Brackets
Before you can attach the optional angle brackets, you need the following
equipment:
• The optional hardware package containing the angle brackets, rack screws,
and cage nuts
• Tape measure
• Phillips screwdriver
• Pen or pencil
Attach the angle brackets to the rack as follows (Figure 1-2):
1. Measure at least 8.75 in. (22.2 cm) of free vertical space inside the rack
and mark the spot.
2. Attach each angle bracket to the inside of the rack, below the marked
spot, as shown in Figure 1-2.
