Note These instructions are specific to a Cisco-supplied cabinet, but can be used for anchoring a
Cisco-supplied rack. If you are not installing your system in a Cisco-su pplied rack or cabinet, anchor
your third-party rack or vendor cabinet according to guidelines in the third-party vendor documentation.
The slots in the stability plate use up to 5/8-inch anchor bolts.
Caution When moving a Cisco-supplied cabinet, do not push the cabinet at its sides. Instead, grip the front or
backedges of the cabinet.
Complete the following steps to anchor your Cisco cabinet to a stabi lity plate:
Step1 Drill holes into the floor to install the stability plate. See Figure5-32 for the dimensions.
Figure5-32 Stability Plate Dimensions
Step2 Use four 3/8 x 1 inch anchoring bolts (user-provided) to att ach the stability plate to the floor.
Step3 Roll the Cisco cabinet over the stability plate as shown in Figure 5-33.
