Chapter 3 Installing the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series Appliance

Mounting the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series Appliance in a 4-Post Rack

Step 3 Repeat Steps 1 through 2 for the other inner slide rail and appliance chassis bracket.

You are now ready to install the appliance into the 4-post rack.

Proceed to the next section, “Attaching the Outer Slide Rails to the Rack,” to continue the installation.

Attaching the Outer Slide Rails to the Rack

Caution Lifting the appliance and attaching it to the rack is a two-person job. If needed, use an appropriate lifting device. A fully loaded Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance weighs approximately 51.5 lb (23.4 kg).

Note This procedure describes the installation of the outer slide rails to a 4-post threaded-hole rack. If your 4-post rack uses rectangular holes, ensure that you have the proper adapters in place to secure the slide rails to the posts.

To attach the outer slide rails to the rack:

Step 1 Determine the position on the rack where you want to mount the appliance.

Step 2 Position the rear-mounting bracket on the outer side of the rear rack post and attach with the 10-32 x 1/2-inch rack screws.

Step 3 Align the center end of the outer slide rail to the corresponding hole on the front rack post.

Step 4 Attach the front-mounting bracket of the outer slide rail to the corresponding holes on the front rack post with the 10-32 x 1/2-inch rack screws.

Step 5 Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for the other outer slide rail.

Proceed to the next section, “Installing the Appliance into the Rack,” to continue the installation.

Installing the Appliance into the Rack

Caution	If you mount the outer slide rails in holes that are not vertically aligned from front to back, you might
	damage the slide rails and your mounting might not be secure.
	To install the appliance into the rack:
Step 1	Extend the inner slide rail until it locks into place.
Step 2	Position the appliance so that the rear end of the inner slide rail aligns with the front end of the outer
	slide rails.
Step 3	Slide the appliance into the rack.
