Chapter 4 Installation and Maintenance

Installing the SCE 1000 Platform

Attaching the Brackets to the SCE 1000

Before installing the SCE 1000 in the rack, you must first install an appropriate rack-mount bracket on each side of the front of the SCE 1000, as illustrated in the following figure. See Tools and Parts Required (on page 4-2) for a listing of the parts and tools required for installing the rack–mount.

To install the rack-mount brackets on the SCE 1000 chassis, complete the following steps:

Step 1 Align the rack-mount bracket to the side of the SCE 1000. Choose the proper bracket for your installation (2-post rack or 4-post rack) as illustrated in Rack-Mounting a SCE 1000 Platform ("Rack-Mounting a SCE 1000 Platform" on page 4-6).

Step 2 Insert and tighten three screws.

Step 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the other side of the SCE 1000.

This completes the steps for attaching the rack-mount brackets to the SCE 1000.

If mounting the SCE 1000 in a rack with only two posts, skip to Mounting the System to a Rack (Mounting the System to a Rack "Mounting the System to the Rack" on page 4-9).

If mounting the SCE 1000 in a rack with four posts, proceed to the next step to attach the crossrail supports to the rack.
