Installation Procedures
These steps summarize your E-MSM720 installation. The rest of this chapter
provides details on these steps.
1. Prepare the installation site (page 2-3). Make sure the physical
environment into which you will be installing the E-MSM720 is properly
prepared, including having the correct network cabling ready to connect
to the E-MSM720 and having an appropriate location for the E-MSM720.
2. Verify the E-MSM720 passes self test (page 2-3). Plug the E-MSM720
into a power source and observe that the LEDs on the E-MSM720’s front
panel indicate correct E-MSM720 operation.
3. Mount the E-MSM720 (page 2-5). The E-MSM720 can be mounted in a
19-inch telco rack, in an equipment cabinet, on a wall, or on a horizontal
surface.
4. Connect power to the E-MSM720 (page 2-9). Once the E-MSM720 is
mounted, plug it into the main power source.
5. Connect the network devices (page 2-10). Using the appropriate
network cables, connect the network devices to the E-MSM720 ports.
6. (Optional) Install mini-GBICs (page 2-11). The E-MSM720 has two or
four slots for installing mini-GBICs. Depending on where you install the
E-MSM720, it may be easier to install the mini-GBICs first. Mini-GBICs can
be hot swapped—they can be installed or removed while the E-MSM720
is powered on.
