Installing the chassis in a rack
Because of the weight of a fully loaded chassis (97 lbs minimum), it is recommended that you mount your device in a rack before
installing the modules and power supplies.
In a standard 19-inch (EIA310-D) rack, you can install up to seven FSX 800 devices, or up to three FSX 1600 devices. You can flush-
mount the FSX 800 using the built-in mounting brackets on the front of the device. Alternatively, you can use the optional rack mount kit
to center-mount the chassis in a rack. The FSX 1600 does not have built-in mounting brackets. To mount the FSX 1600 in a rack, you
will need to install the brackets in the rack mount kit that ships with the chassis, see the “Installing mounting brackets on the FSX 1600
chassis” task.
Before performing this task, you should have an assembled rack and a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
Keep the following in mind when mounting a chassis in a rack.
DANGER
Make sure the rack housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and progressively place
lighter devices above.
DANGER
A fully populated chassis is heavy. TWO OR MORE PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED WHEN LIFTING, HANDLING, OR
MOUNTING THESE DEVICES.
For each FastIron X Series that you install in a rack, you must provide four mounting screws with which to secure the chassis.
To mount the chassis in a rack using the built-in mounting brackets, perform the following tasks.
1. Determine the position of each chassis in the rack.
