Desktop
Place your NPort 5600 on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For better ventilation, attach the 4
pads from the desktop kit to the bottom of the unit, and leave some space between the NPort 5600
and other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of the unit, as this might damage
the server.

Rackmount
The NPort 5600 is designed to be mounted on a standard 19-inch rack. Use the enclosed pair of
L-shaped metal brackets and screws to fasten your NPort 5600 to the rack cabinet. Each L-shaped
bracket has 6 holes, leaving two outer or inner holes available for other uses. You have two
options. You can lock either the front or rear panel of the NPort 5600 to the front of the rack.
Locking the front panel is shown in the following figure.

Wiring Requirements
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your NPort 5600 Series.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all
electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious
damage to your equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Please take care when handling NPort 5600. When plugged in, NPort 5600’s internal
components generate heat, and consequently the casing may feel hot to the touch.
