Installing Equipment
The F-‐Series TeraFrame Gen 3 Cabinet supports all manufacturers’ equipment that conforms to the
EIA/ECA-‐310E standard. Most equipment attaches directly to the equipment mounting rails; however,
some manufacturers may provide brackets or slide assemblies that require additional installation.
Rack-‐mount unit (U) markings are clearly printed on the equipment rails to simplify installation of
components. Align equipment with the U markings on each side of the cabinet before securing the
equipment.
NOTE: Equipment rails should be adjusted to the desired location (front to rear) prior
to installing equipment. See “Adjusting the Equipment Rails” on page 18.
The F-‐Series TeraFrame Gen 3 Cabinet is provided with hardware to secure equipment to the mounting
rails. This hardware includes 50 sets of M6 cage nuts and screws. Additional hardware is available for
purchase (see “Other Accessories” on page 31).
Cable Management
CPI cable management products provide the proper cable bend radii for better data transmission;
fewer tangled cords and cable damage; and ease in moving, adding, and changing connections. The
products assist in complying with ANSI/TIA/EIA installation of Category 5/5e/6/6a and fiber cables.
Separate the cables by type, gather into bundles, and fasten loosely with hook and loop fasteners. CPI
offers Saf-‐T-‐Grip Straps to fasten cable bundles (P/N 0200X-‐series).
See “Accessories – Cable Management” on page 26 for more information.
