3.Secure the mounting bracket to the CSS with four screws provided.

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install a mounting bracket on the other side of the CSS.

You are ready to install the CSS in the rack. Before you install the CSS 11503 into an equipment rack, note the following:

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

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

Warning At least three people are required to mount the chassis in the equipment rack: two people are needed to hold the chassis in place while a third person tightens the mounting screws.

To install the CSS 11503 into an equipment rack:

1.Raise the CSS to the installation height and align the screw holes on the mounting bracket with the holes on the equipment rack.

2.Secure each mounting bracket to each side of the rack.
