Chassis
This chapter provides instructions to rack mount your chassis into a standard 19-inch or 23-inch
equipment rack.
Unpack the System Components
Install the Equipment Rack Shelf Bar
Mount the Chassis in a Rack
Mount the Chassis in a Cabinet
Install the Chassis
Installing the chassis is a three-step process:
1
Unpack the System Components
2
Install the Equipment Rack Shelf Bar
3
Mount the Chassis in a Rack
or
Mount the Chassis in a Cabinet
Unpack the System Components
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) wear an ESD-preventative wrist or foot-heal ground strap when
handling system components.
1
Remove all contents from the shipping packaging. After you remove the original packaging, place
RPMs, SFMs, and line cards on an antistatic surface.
2
Move the chassis to the rack. The packaging and contents weigh approximately 400 pounds. The
unpacked chassis and floater pallet weigh approximately 100 pounds. Use a hand cart, pallet jack, or
forklift to lift and move the chassis.
CAUTION:
Lift the chassis from the bottom only. Lifting by the chassis shelves or fan tray opening might
damage the chassis.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the chassis front shipping cover until you have installed the chassis; this protective
cover prevents damage to the internal framework and EMI seals.
Install the Equipment Rack Shelf Bar
The rack shelf bar (
Figure
4-
1
) enables you to easily position the chassis into the rack and provides the
unit additional support.
