Mounting the Cisco 8500 Series Wireless Controller in a Rack

Note Use cage bars with square-holed racks, clip nuts with round-holed racks, and your own screws or the

screws provided in this kit with threaded-hole racks.

Note If the slide rails in your rack installation kit came with shipping thumbscrews, remove them before you

begin the following installation procedure.

Step 1 Select an available 1U space in your rack to install your controller. If you have either a round-holed or

square-holed rack, install cage bars or clip nuts in the middle and the bottom (optional for the upper)

holes of the lower U on each side of the front of the rack. Then, install cage bars or clip nuts in the upper

and the bottom holes of the lower U on each side of the rear of the rack.
