Prior to Installation
Inspect Shipment
Sycamore Networks equipment is shipped in cardboard cartons with foam inserts to protect the
units from shock and vibration during shipment. All products are shipped in separate shipping
cartons, unless instructed otherwise.
To Inspect Equipment:
•Inspect the condition of all boxes.
•Compare all items to the packing list.
•Notify Sycamore Networks and the carrier immediately if there are any damages or
shortages.
•Store the cartons and packing material in case the unit has to be transported at a later date.
ESD CAUTION

Before handling DNX components, wear an anti-static wrist
strap connected to frame ground to prevent damage to circuits
from electrostatic discharge.

Prior to Installation Site Preparations
DOC-001-11001 (Rev. 006) 2DNX Quick Install & Setup Guide
Site Preparations
Before you install the DNX, contact your service provider to ensure that the proper transmission
equipment and lines are installed. For LAN-based network management applications, the site
must have at least one 10BaseT Ethernet network in place. Depending upon the application
being supported, you may also need dial-in telephone lines.
Required Tools and Cables
•Basic Telecommunications installation tool kit including flat and Phillips-head screwdrivers,
wire strippers, etc.
•Rack mounting hardware including screws and washers
•Craft port cable
•Interface cables
•Optional: Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM)
Site Environmental Recommendations
When selecting a site to install the equipment, choose a protected area in an environment that
is:
•Temperature regulated
•Humidity controlled
•Isolated from large motors and heating units
