Installing a CSS 11503 as a Rackmounted Unit

Before you rack-mount the CSS 11503:

•Determine if you want to front-mount or mid-mount the mounting brackets on the CSS chassis. Refer to the location of the mounting bars in the equipment cabinet to determine the mount position of the mounting brackets.

•Install the mounting brackets on the CSS, as described below.

Before you begin, you need the mounting brackets and the eight Phillips screws shipped in the accessory kit accompanying the CSS 11503, and a #1 Phillips screwdriver.

To install the mounting brackets on the CSS 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.
