HAssociated hardware bundled in a plastic bag:

Ðac power cord (if your chassis has the ac power option)

ÐTwo reversible mounting brackets (for 19- and 23-inch rack mounting)

ÐOne control bus cable (2 1/2 feet in length) for connecting multiple 8600 systems

ÐFour #10-32 mounting screws and #12-24 speed nuts (for use with racks without threaded mounting holes), three captive screws, and three cable ties.

NOTE:

The HotWire 8600 DSLAM chassis requires an MCC card and at least one DSL card for proper functionality. These cards are not provided as part of the 8600 chassis and must be ordered separately.
