Installing the BCM1000e (expansion unit)

This chapter describes how to install the BCM1000e.

The BCM1000e must be installed close enough to the BCM1000 that the 5 m (16 ft.) cable between the two units can be connected to the BCM1000 without stress on the cable. The BCM1000e has the same environmental and electrical requirements as the BCM1000. For more information about these requirements, refer to “Preparation checklist” on page 67.

Installing the BCM1000e into a rack

The BCM1000e fits into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. You must install the unit in the same rack as the BCM1000.

Caution: When installing the BCM1000e in a rack, do not stack units directly on top of one another. Fasten each unit to the rack with the separate mounting brackets.

Attaching the mounting brackets

You must install two rack brackets on the BCM1000e to allow you to install the unit into the equipment rack. These brackets are supplied with the unit.

1Place the BCM1000e on a table.

2Align the screw holes between the unit and the right rack mounting bracket. Refer to Figure 32.
