Chapter 2 Installing the Chassis Rack-Mounting the Chassis • 16 12-24 screws • 16 10-32 screws • A disposable ESD strap To install the chassis in a rack, follow these steps: Step 1 Prepare for installation as follows: a. Use a tape measure to measure the depth of the rack. Measure from the outside of the front mounting posts to the outside of the rear mounting strip. The depth must be at least 19.25 inches (48.9 cm) but not greater than 32 inches (81.3 cm). b. Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting posts to ensure that it is 17.75 inches (45.09 cm) wide. (The chassis is 17.25 inches [43.8 cm] wide and must fit between the mounting posts.) c. Remove the rubber feet from the chassis, if needed, to ensure a better fit in the rack. Place the side of the chassis on a flat surface. Remove the screw that secures each rubber foot to the chassis. d. Place the chassis on the floor or on a sturdy table as close as possible to the rack. Leave enough clearance so that you can move around the chassis. e. Open the rack-mount kit. Caution If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that the rack is otherwise stabilized. 78-6134-03 Catalyst 8540 Chassis Installation Guide 2-3

•
A disposable ESD strap
To install the chassis in a rack, follow these steps:
Step 1
Prepare for installation as follows:
a.
Use a tape measure to measure the depth of the rack. Measure from the
outside of the front mounting posts to the outside of the rear mounting strip.
The depth must be at least 19.25 inches (48.9 cm) but not greater than
32 inches (81.3 cm).
b.
Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front
mounting posts to ensure that it is 17.75
inches (45.09 cm) wide. (The chassis
is 17.25 inches [43.8 cm] wide and must fit between the mounting posts.)
c.
Remove the rubber feet from the chassis, if needed, to ensure a better fit in
the rack. Place the side of the chassis on a flat surface. Remove the screw that
secures each rubber foot to the chassis.
d.
Place the chassis on the floor or on a sturdy table as close as possible to the
rack. Leave enough clearance so that you can move around the chassis.
e.
Open the rack-mount kit.
Caution
If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or that
the rack is otherwise stabilized.
