Figure 23. Installing the X-Pedition 8600 chassis in an equipment rack

Note: Never attempt to rack mount the X-Pedition chassis unaided. Ask an assistant to help you hold the chassis.

Caution: To make lifting and holding the chassis easier, install the chassis before you install line cards or redundant control modules and power supplies.

To install the X-Pedition chassis in an equipment rack, use the following procedure. You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver to perform this procedure.

1.If the front-mounting brackets are already installed on the X-Pedition chassis, go to step 2. If not, do the following:

a.Align one of the mounting brackets over the corresponding holes in the side of the chassis. The mounting bracket is correctly positioned when the side with two open mounting holes is flush with the front of the chassis.

b.Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver and two of the supplied Phillips screws to attach the mounting bracket to the chassis.

c.Attach the other mounting bracket.
