Installing mounting brackets on the
FSX 1600
chassis
The FSX 1600 chassis does not ship with mounting brackets installed. You will need to install the
brackets yourself, using a #2 Phillips or flathead screwdriver. Mount the brackets as shown in
Figure 30. Since the brackets are identical, you must rotate one bracket 90 degrees to fit on the
opposite side from the first bracket.

Removing the slot panels
The chassis ships with a slot panel installed that covers each empty module slot, ensuring proper
airflow within the chassis. If you plan to install a module in a particular slot, you must first remove
the slot panel.
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you operate the
chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
Although the slot panels may differ in size, the procedure for removing them from the chassis is the
same. The procedure in this section applies to all module slot panels.
You need a #2 Phillips-head or flathead screwdriver to perform this task.
