Installing a CSS 11501 as a Rackmounted Unit

Before you begin, you need the mounting brackets and the 12 Phillips screws shipped in the accessory kit accompanying the CSS 11501, and a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

To install the mounting brackets on the CSS 11501 chassis:

1.Position the CSS with its front panel facing you. On the left and right sides of its chassis, note the screw holes for installing the mounting brackets.

2.Position a mounting bracket on one side of the chassis. Align it with the appropriate screw holes for front- or mid-mounting.

Figure 1-2illustrates front-mounting the mounting brackets.
