Rack-Mounted Installation
We recommend that you use a standard EIA distribution rack. See Equipment Rack Requirements for rack information.
Installation Guidelines
Before installing the systems in a rack, consider the following guidelines:
- You can install several models in a single 7-ft. (2.1-m) rack.
Installing multiple systems in a single rack enables you to maximize your
available space.
- Install heavier systems on the bottom of the rack. Mount lighter
systems higher in the rack.
Preparing the Equipment Racks
Following your installation plan, use a tape measure and marking pen
to measure and mark space on each equipment rack for each system component.
For horizontal spacing follow Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements.
Installing the System
To complete the installation of the system in a rack, you need:
- A Phillips screwdriver
- Eight 10-32 x 3/8 Phillips screws (provided) for each model to
be installed
To install the system in the rack:
- With one person standing on the left side of the chassis
and another standing on the right side, lift the unit into the rack.
- Position the system in its designated location in the equipment
rack. Make sure the holes of the mounting brackets align evenly with the holes
of the equipment rack on both sides.
- Starting at the bottom of the system, have the third person
secure the system in the equipment rack by using the 10-32 x 3/8 Phillips
screws.
- Connect the necessary cables.
