Begin installing your chassis assemblies at the bottom of the rack or cabinet. This
provides support for each chassis before it is securely mounted, and greatly simplifies
getting the chassis square and level in the rack.
Standard Chassis Mounting Hardware
To install a chassis using the standard Chassis Accessory Kit, do the following:
1. When installing into a cabinet enclosure, loosely attach the back adjustable
mounting brackets to the chassis with 5 screws on each side.
2. Position the chassis in the cabinet so that the front of the chassis lines up with the
front rail and then slide the adjustable back brackets into place. Tighten the screws
that hold the back brackets in place.
3. With the back brackets firmly attached to the chassis, slide the chassis into the
cabinet from the back. Open the front bezel of the chassis and then attach the front
brackets with three screws on each side that pass from the inside of the chassis to
tapped holes in the brackets on the outside.
4. Using the hardware provided with your cabinet, attach the chassis mounting
brackets to the cabinet rails.
5. If you are installing a chassis into a two-post rack with only a central mounting
point, use the front brackets attached at the center of gravity of the chassis. The
center of gravity is 14.7 inches (37 cm) back from the front faceplate. A set of
rack ear mounting holes is provided at this location (the third group of 3 holes
back). This point should line up with the rack sidebars to assure maximum
stability of the rack. Figure 15 shows a two-post open rack with one chassis
installed, properly centered in the rack.
NOTE
For your convenience, the front brackets can be attached from
either the inside or the outside of the chassis.
CAUTION: To avoid equipment damage and potential personal injury,
never install the chassis with only the front bracket as an attachment.
NOTE
The CRM kit cannot be used in a two-post rack, as shown in the
following figure.
