Mounting Bracket Orientation
The Total Access 3000 Chassis comes with mounting brackets that can be mounted with the
flanges facing forward or backward in two different locations on the chassis sides providing
either flush-mounting or mid-mounting. Attaching the mounting brackets to the chassis
requires four screws on each side, and are supplied with the unit.
NOTE
Before installing the chassis in the Central Office frame the paint
must be removed and an antioxidant applied to the surfaces of the
mounting brackets that come in contact with the frame. This will
ensure electrical continuity between the Total Access 3000 Chassis
and the CO frame.
Flush-mounting
For flush-mounting, use a #2 phillips-head screwdriver and attach the mounting brackets to
the Total Access 3000 Chassis with the flanges facing rearward on the front mounting holes.
Mid-mounting
For mid-mounting, use a #2 phillips-head screwdriver and attach the mounting brackets to
the Total Access 3000 Chassis with the flanges facing forward on the front mounting holes.
Installing the Chassis
After attaching the mounting brackets to the Total Access 3000 Chassis sides, use the appro-
priate screws for the Central Office rack type and mount the chassis in the rack as follows:
Flush-mounting
For flush-mount systems, the Total Access 3000 must be mounted from the rear of the rack,
with mounting bracket flanges facing rearward.
Mid-mounting
For mid-mounting the Total Access 3000 must be mounted from the front of the rack, with the
mounting bracket flanges facing forward.
NOTE
Other orientations will require either mounting from the front or
rear, and depend on the rack type installed in the CO and the
standard operating procedures established by the CO.
Once the orientation of the chassis has been determined, use the four appropriate screws for
the CO rack and an appropriate screwdriver and secure the Total Access 3000 Chassis in
place on the rack.
