WARNING: Two people are required to lift the system.
CAUTION: To prevent electrostatic damage to the system and its components, make
sure persons handling the system wear an antistatic device.
Rack-Mounted Installation
We recommend that you use a standard EIA distribution rack. See "Equipment Rack
Requirements" on page 63 for rack information. You can install the system using
the front or mid-mount brackets.
Installation Guidelines
Before installing the systems in a rack, consider the following guidelines:
Preparing the Equipment Racks
Following your installation plan, use a tape measure and marking pen to measure
and mark space on each equipment rack for each system component. For horizontal
spacing follow Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) requirements.

Rack-Mounted Installation
You can install several models in a single 7-ft. (2.1-m) rack. Installing multiple
systems in a single rack enables you to maximize your available space.
Install heavier systems on the bottom of the rack. Mount lighter systems higher
in the rack.
A Phillips screwdriver
Eight 10-32 x 3/8 Phillips screws (provided) for each model to be installed
If you are installing the system with the mid-mount brackets, use the provided
screws to attach the brackets to the chassis. Use one bracket on each side. (See
Figure 1 on page 4.)
With one person standing on the left side of the chassis and another standing
on the right side, lift the unit into the rack.
Position the system in its designated location in the equipment rack. Make sure
the holes of the mounting brackets align evenly with the holes of the equipment
rack on both sides.
