In this section:
This section provides you with information about installing a shelf in the DSC Platform cabinet.
Each shelf is delivered with two 483 mm (19 in.) rackmount flanges for fastening these shelves to the cabinet rack. These rackmount flanges facilitate front or rear mounting. It is recommended that 6-inch, M8 bolts and nuts are used for securing the shelves to the cabinet rack (not supplied).
For mounting requirements, see Rack Mounting Requirements.
Start
For efficient cooling, ensure the area around the shelf intake and exhaust vents are clear of obstructions. Position the intake away from another system's exhaust (refer to Cooling Requirements and Cooling Architecture).
Do one of the following:
Use two people to lift the shelf into position (one person at the front and one person at the back of the shelf). Do not lift the shelf using any of its protruding edges, but firmly hold the shelf, placing hands on the bottom of the shelf.
Use a lift-assist machine able to support 73 kg (161 pounds), place the shelf in the rack.
It is recommended that third person line up the mounting holes on the shelf flanges with the cabinet's mounting holes and secure the shelf into place with the provided mounting screws to securely support the shelf.
10-32 x 3/4 mounting screws are shipped in the accessory box.
The Cable Management Brackets provide a means of organizing cabling on both the front (see the following figure) and rear (see Figure Installing the Rear Cable Management Bracket) of panels of the Shelf. The holes on the bracket tabs allow you to use hook and loop tie wraps to secure the cables.
The Cable Management Brackets should be installed after the Shelf is mounted in the rack.
Installing the Front Cable Management Bracket
Installing the Rear Cable Management Bracket
Hook and loop Tie Wraps are recommended to organize and secure the cables in the Cable Management Brackets
Start
Locate the Cable Management Brackets that were contained in the shipping container.
The screws for mounting the Cable Management Brackets are already inserted in the front and rear of the chassis.
Secure the two (2) 4-40 screws in the holes provided to lock the Cable Management Bracket into place.
Do not over tighten the screws. No more than 20.3 lb-in. (2.3 Nm) torque should be applied.
In the standard default configuration, the Control Shelf supports seven external IP addresses allocated to the CPU cards.
The default system Control Shelf is equipped with two Management CPUs and two Routing CPU cards. Optional expansion shelves do not include management CPUs.
If the shelf is equipped with additional CPU cards, then two (2) additional external IP addresses are required for each of these cards.
Do not change the pre-configured IP addresses for the system. Otherwise, the system may not perform as expected. If these IP addresses conflict with the existing IP addresses in your network, contact Customer Support.
Ribbon recommends that you record the IP information listed in the following table for your future reference. The provided IP address information has been pre-configured on your DSC Platform system.

2For the procedure to obtain the MAC address, refer to the appropriate section in DSC - SP2000 Platform Manager User Guide.
For more information about the DSC 8000 Ethernet configuration, refer to
The serial numbers for the system cards are located on the bottom of the cards near the connectors and are six digit values.
The serial number location for the shelf is shown in the following figure.
The serial number for the system is located in the rear of the system on the left-hand side of the frame near slot 21 (see Figure Model Number/Serial Number and Part Number Label Location for the DSC 8000).
