Rack-Mounting OS6250 Switches

General Rack-Mounting Guidelines

If you will be rack-mounting your OS6250 switch(es), refer to the important guidelines below before
installing.
•
It is recommended that two people install the switch assembly on the rack—one person to hold the
chassis and position it on the rack, and a second person to secure the chassis to the rack using
attachment screws. (Please note that Alcatel-Lucent does not provide rack-mount screws. Use the
screws supplied by the rack vendor.)
•
To prevent a rack from becoming top heavy, it is recommended that you install heavier equipment at
the bottom of the rack, whenever possible.
•
Review page 3-4
•
If you are installing the switch on a relay rack, be sure to install and secure the rack per the rack
manufacturer's specifications.

Rack-Mounting Installation

1
Follow the proper assembly instructions based on the configuration of the chassis and power supply
trays described in "Assembling OS6250 Switches" on page
2
Attach rack mount ears to both sides of the front of the chassis.
3
Using one additional person, lift and position the assembly on the rack until the rack-mount flanges are
flush with the rack post.

Align the holes in the flanges with the rack holes.
