Installing the Switch into the Cabinet
To rack-mount the switch into the equipment cabinet:
1. Raise the switch to the appropriate installation height, using a hand lift
(or a minimum of three installers).
2. Align the holes in the chassis with the appropriate mating hole pattern in the
equipment rack and install screws as noted below:
•
For 19-inch mid-mount applications - 6 holes per side
•
For 23-inch mid-mount applications - 11 holes per side
•
For 23-inch front-mount applications - 11 holes per side.
3. Install truss-head screws of the appropriate size (10-32 or 12-24) through the
mount bracket on the switch (using a maximum of 6 to 8 inch-pounds of torque)
into the mount bracket on the equipment cabinet, using a #2 Phillips-head
screwdriver.
!
Caution – The procedure for rack-mounting the switch requires more than one
installer. A fully-configured switch weighs up to 200 pounds, so Lucent recommends
that you use a hand lift for raising the switch into the cabinet.
Note – Upon completion of the assembly of the chassis to the equipment rack, you
may have some remaining screws, depending on the mounting configuration selected.
This extra hardware can be discarded, if desired.
