Setting Up and Testing the MAX Hardware
Inserting an expansion card
MAX 4000 Series Hardware Installation Guide Preliminary November 4, 1998 2-3
• Install racks with open sides, if possible, because the MAX fans vent on the side of the
unit. If you use enclosed racks:
– Make sure that there are openings to the air conditioning system in the floor beneath
each cabinet.
– Preferably use exhaust fans at the top of the cabinet. At a minimum, however, the
cabinets must be ventilated at the top.
If you ordered MAX expansion cards separately, continue with the next section. If all of your
expansion cards are preinstalled, skip to “Setting up the hardware” on page 2-5.
Inserting an expansion card
!
Caution: When installing any expansion card, be sure to follow proper procedures (such as
using a grounding mat and a wrist strap) to prevent buildup of static electricity.
If your MAX package includes expansion modules that are not already installed in your MAX,
insert the modules now. Perform the following steps:
1 Make sure the MAX power is off and the power cord is unplugged.
Warning: Failure to turn off the MAX power and unplug the power cord could result in
bodily injury.
2 Hold the expansion card with the network ports facing you, and insert the card into a back
panel slot as shown in Figure 2-2. Do not handle the slot cards from both ends. Be sure to
insert the card into guides that are in the same plane.

3 Push the card along the internal guides until it is secure. The face plate of the expansion
card should touch the back-panel of the MAX.
