Cisco Systems Gateway 10 Rack-mounting a Cisco RFGW-10 Ueqam, Verifying Rack Dimensions

Page 6

Always install the heavier equipment in the lower half of the rack to maintain a low center of gravity to prevent the rack from falling over.

Install and use the cable-management brackets included with the Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM to keep the cables organized and out of the way of the cards and processors. Ensure that the cables from the other equipment already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards or require you to disconnect cables unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.

Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.

Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM chassis.

Table 1 shows the weight and dimensions of the Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM.

Rack-mounting a Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM

The Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM can be installed in either front mount or mid mount configuration. The chassis rack-mounting flanges must be secured directly to the chassis before lifting it into the rack. For installing the Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM rack-mount brackets, go to:

Chassis Front Rack-mount Brackets Installation, page 9

Chassis Mid-MountedRack-Mount Bracket Installation, page 10

Verifying Rack Dimensions

Before you install the chassis, measure the space between the vertical mounting flanges (rails) on your equipment rack to verify that the rack conforms to the measurements shown in Figure 2.

Step 1 Mark and measure the distance between the two holes on the left and right mounting rails. The distance should measure 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm).

Note Measure the pairs of holes near the bottom, middle and top of the equipment rack to ensure that the rack posts are parallel.

Step 2 Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the equipment rack.

The space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis, which is 17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.
