3.2 SETTING UP THE ENTERASYS MATRIX N7 CHASSIS
The following sections describe the procedures that must be followed to complete the installation 
of the N7 chassis.
3.2.1 Order of Installation
Once a suitable site has been chosen, the N7 chassis can be installed as a freestanding or 
rack-mounted unit.
It is recommended that the N7 chassis installation proceed in the following order:
1. Install the rubber feet (for freestanding installation) and cable management bar. (Section 3.2.2)
2. Mount the chassis to a 48.26-centimeter (19-inch) rack or other secure location. (Section 3.2.3)
3. Attach the Electrostatic Discharge wrist strap. (Section 3.2.3.3)
4. Install the power supply module(s). (Section 3.2.4)
3.2.2 Installing the Rubber Feet and Cable Management Bar
If you are installing the N7 chassis as a freestanding device, start with Section 3.2.2.1 to install the 
rubber feet. To install the chassis in a rack, rubber feet are not needed. Therefore, start with 
Section 3.2.2.2 to install the cable management bar.
Caution: Using longer screws than the ones packaged with the cable management bar 
may cause damage to the chassis. 
Precaución: El utilizar tornillos más largos que los que vienen incluidos con la barra 
del cable de gerencia resultará en dañar al chasis.
Note: Before installing the rubber feet and cable management bar, place the chassis 
on its back on a sturdy flat surface to have access to the bottom of the chassis.
