Rack-Mounting the Chassis

Figure 4 Installing the Ears on the Chassis

H2917

Step 4 While referring to Figure 4, turn the chassis so that the end that will be in the front of the rack is facing toward you. For example, Figure 4 shows the correct orientation for the router if the noninterface processor end will face out the front of the rack.

Step 5 On the sides of the chassis, locate the stud holes and tapped holes nearest you.

Step 6 Attach the first chassis ear to the right side of the chassis. Hold the ear in the orientation shown by the right ear in the Figure 4, with the studs pointing toward the chassis and the mounting strip facing you.

Step 7 Insert the studs into the holes on the side of the chassis, as shown in Figure 4.

Step 8 Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to secure two M4 x10-mm Phillips flathead screws to the chassis, then repeat this procedure for the other ear. Ensure that the strip of mounting holes on each ear is approximately flush with the end of the chassis. (See Figure 4.)

Step 9 Proceed to the next section to install the chassis in the rack.

Installing the Chassis in the Rack

The ears secure the chassis to two rack posts, and the rest of the chassis is cantilevered off the ears. After installing the ears on the chassis, mount the chassis by securing the ears to two posts or mounting strips in the rack with the eight slotted screws provided. Because the ears bear the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all eight slotted screws to fasten the chassis ears to the rack posts. Figure 5 shows a typical installation in a standard, 19-inch equipment rack with four mounting posts. Figure 6 shows a typical installation in a Telco-type rack, which usually has two center posts and is bolted to the floor.

Warning To prevent personal injury, we recommend that two people install the chassis in the rack. (One person should support the chassis in the rack while the second person installs the fasteners.)
