Chapter 4 Installation and Maintenance

Installing the SCE 1000 Platform

Attaching the Crossrail Supports to the Rack

When mounting in a rack with four posts (front and back) the two crossrail supports are mounted one on each side of the rack. The SCE 1000 then slides into these crossrails, which support the weight of the unit.

Note Cisco recommends that you allow at least 1 or 2 inches (2.54 or 5.08 cm) of vertical clearance between the SCE 1000 and any equipment directly above and below it.

To install the crossrail supports on a four-post rack (both front and back posts), complete the following steps:

Step 1 Assemble the two crossrail supports as illustrated below. Use three screws for each crossrail assembly.

Make sure that they are oriented so that both crossrails will support the SCE 1000 when they are attached to the rack.

Step 2 Align the crossrail supports with the side of the rack, parallel to the floor.

Step 3 Insert and tighten two screws to the front posts or mounting strips of the rack

Step 4 Insert and tighten two screws to the Back posts of the rack.

Step 5 Repeat steps 2 through 4 on the other side of the rack, keeping the brackets flush against the posts and parallel to the supporting bracket on first side of the rack.
