Installing a CSS Module

Rack-Mounting the CSS 11506 Chassis

You are ready to install the CSS in the rack. Before you install the CSS 11506 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 11506 chassis 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.

Installing a CSS Module

The modules that you ordered with either the CSS 11503 or CSS 11506 chassis are preinstalled. If you need to reseat a module, or remove and replace it, refer to the following sections:

•Installation Precautions and Restrictions

•Unpacking a CSS Module

•Installing a Module

•Installing a Module

This information applies to the CSS modules only.

If you received an additional module at a later time, it comes with a reference sheet providing information on the module and how to install it.
