Installation Checklist

A rack-mount kit is included in the shipping container. The rack-mount brackets in the kit are for mounting the Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch in a standard, 19-in.-wide, 4-post equipment rack.

Note The rack-mount brackets are not suitable for use with other racks, such as 23-in. telco racks.

If you are installing an equipment shelf or using mounting hardware other than that supplied with the chassis, review the guidelines in the “Equipment Racks” section on page 2-8.

To assist you with your installation and provide a historical record of what was done, and by whom, use the Installation Checklist in Table 3-1 on page 3-2. Print a copy of this checklist and indicate when each procedure or verification is completed.
