Preparing to Mount the Chassis in a Rack
Before you mount the chassis into a rack, it is critical that the installation site be prepared properly to handle
the chassis weight, power requirements, cooling needs, and other requirements.
You should review the rack specifications from the manufacturer to determine whether the racks you have
are appropriate to handle the weight of the chassis.
To avoid tipping the chassis and possible injury when installing it, take care to properly position the chassis
in the rack when you are mounting it.
Caution
Before mounting the chassis in the rack, perform the following steps:
Installing the Mounting Brackets
This section explains how to install the top and bottom mounting brackets for the specific type of rack you
are using.
• For 2-post ANSI racks, the brackets are installed in the middle position.
• For 4-post ANSI racks and ETSI cabinets, the brackets are installed in the front position.
Prerequisites
Make sure that you have the correct type of mounting brackets to suit your rack type. There are three different
types of mounting brackets for the three types of racks (ANSI 19-inch or 23-inch or ETSI).
