n
panel and 10cm (4 inches) in front of the front panel.
The room in which you install the Cisco VCS should have an ambient temperature between 0ºC and

Preparing the unit
1. Unpack the unit.
2. Mount the rack ears (using a Torx T10 driver) or rubber feet.
3. Turn the unit back on its feet or mount it in the rack.
If this product is mounted in a rack you are recommended to use additional support
accessories such as rack side support angles (rack angle brackets) or rack shelves, due to
the unit's weight and depth. Contact your rack supplier to request the accessories best
suited for your rack.
Connecting the cables
1. Connect the power cable to the back of the Cisco VCS (see Figure 1).
2. Connect the Ethernet LAN cable from the LAN1 port on the front of the Cisco VCS to your network
(see Figure 2).
