3 Planning and Preparation
The guidelines in the following sections will assist management and network administrators in planning
for the physical and network requirements of using an ExpressCard 2000 (EC2000). The most effective
way to ensure smooth installation of the EC2000 is to consider these factors before receiving the device.
3.1 Physical Installation Planning
The EC2000 must be installed on a flat, level surface capable of supporting the weight of the EC2000
plus the weight of a person leaning against it (such as a service technician). See Appendix B for details.
If the EC2000 is placed on a non-level surface, it will not work correctly.
Make sure the EC2000’s placement during normal operation will provide the physical clearances shown
around the sides in Figure 3-1 (see Appendix B Technical Specifications for device dimensions). This
spacing allows adequate cooling and will keep the rear cable connectors from crushing against the wall.

Make sure the EC2000’s position during maintenance and insertion of consumables will provide the
clearance space shown in Figure 3-2. This spacing allows users to open the top access door.
