This chapter describes how to set up and install the 9161 and the interface modules as well as
the hardware features and functions of the 9161.
Before setting up the 9161, make sure the serial cable (required to connect the chassis to a
VT100 type terminal or PC) and the Ethernet and fiber cables needed for your system are avail-
able. If the 9161 uses AC power, plan to install it within 7 ft. (2 m) of the AC power source.
2.1 Install the 9161
The 9161 is tested and inspected before shipment from the factory. If there is obvious damage to
the shipping container, contact the carrier immediately.
CAUTION: Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety precautions
when handling Canoga Perkins products, as with all elec-
tronic devices with static sensitive components.
1. Unpack the 9161. Keep the shipping container until the unit is installed and fully opera-
tional. In the unlikely event that the unit is defective, contact Canoga Perkins for a Return
Authorization Number (RMA) and instructions for return shipment.
2. Mount the 9161 in a rack or as a standalone unit.
a. Use the standard rackmount kit with brackets and screws to install the 9161 in a
19-inch rack or use the optional 23-inch rackmount kit. The 9161 includes two
sets of mounting holes.
• For a front chassis mount, align the screw holes in the brackets with the
screw holes at the front of the side panel of the 9161, then secure the
screws.
• For a mid- or recessed chassis mount, align the screw holes in the brack-
ets with the screw holes in the middle of the side panel of the 9161, then
secure the screws.
b. To use the 9161 as a standalone unit, place it on a secure, flat surface within reach
of the power and fiber optic connections.
