82Chapter 7 Installing the main unit

If you are installing additional units, you can install a second unit on the shelf beside the first unit. You can install another unit on top of each of the first two units. Nortel recommends a maximum of four units per rackmount shelf.

Select your installation option:

To install the BCM50 unit on the rackmount shelf

1Place the BCM50 unit on the rack so that the feet of the unit are in the depressions in the shelf.

2Move the unit forward until the feet touch the front side of the depressions.

3Slide the unit back until the feet click in place on the slots in the depressions (see Figure 30).

4If you want to further secure the unit, use four of the self-tapping screws for plastic supplied with the rackmount kit to attach the unit to the rackmount shelf. Make sure the screw holes in the unit are aligned with the holes in the rackmount shelf. Then drive the four screws through the holes in the bottom of the shelf and into the screw holes in the bottom of the unit.

Caution: Use only the screws supplied with the rackmount kit (NT9T6325). Do not replace the screws. Other screws can damage the unit.

5Continue with the next step, “To install the power supply on the rackmount shelf” on page 83.
