Equipment Rack Installation of the Chassis

To install the unit in an equipment rack, use the following procedure. Refer to Figure 2-1 below.

Safety Precautions for Rack Installation

▲Important! Disconnect all cables from the IntraChassis 9000 before continuing. Also, do not install the modules you have purchased until the chassis has been installed in the rack. This will reduce the weight of the chassis during rack installation.

▲Important! Before installing the chassis in a rack, read the “Safety Information” section earlier in this chapter to famil- iarize yourself with the proper site and environmental con- ditions. Failure to read and follow these guidelines could lead to an unsuccessful installation and possible damage to the system and components.

▲Important! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precau- tions to ensure that the system remains stable. The follow- ing guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

❑This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

❑When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

Rack Guidelines

Guideline	Specification
Size	Width; 17.75 inches (45.09 cm).
	Depth: 19.25 inches (48.9 cm) to 32 inches (81.3 cm).
Stability	Rack must be bolted to the floor. Mount heavier units at the bottom
	of the rack, and mount the IntraChassis 9000 at the bottom of the
	rack if it is the only unit mounted; this will ensure that the rack does
	not become top-heavy. If the rack has stabilizing devices, make sure
	they are installed before mounting the IntraChassis 9000.
