Installing the main unit in an equipment rack

You can install a BCM main unit in a standard 19-inch equipment rack along with your other networking and telecommunications equipment. The BCM expansion unit installs in a similar manner to the main units.

Caution: When installing the main unit in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another in the rack.

Fasten each unit to the rack with the appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting brackets cannot support multiple units.

For desk-mount installations, do not place anything directly on top of the BCM main unit.

Refer to “Environmental requirements” on page 87 for acceptable environmental conditions before selecting a location for the BCM main unit.

Use the following procedures to install a BCM unit in a rack:
