Mounting Procedures

Introduction

In most cases, stations are shipped in the selected cabinet or rack (i.e., the
station is mounted and cabled), and may be installed by following the pro-
cedures below. However, the following three scenarios require special
mounting procedures:
• Customer plans to mount equipment in customer-supplied rack or
cabinet, and orders equipment to ship from the factory without a rack
or cabinet.
• Customer orders two stations in a single rack.
• Customer requires slide rail assembly.

Installing Racks

In a typical installation, the rack is bolted to a concrete floor to provide sta-
bility.
The following procedure describes the steps necessary to bolt the rack to a
concrete floor. Be sure to check with local authorities to verify that the fol-
lowing procedure conforms to local building codes and regulations before
permanently installing the rack.
1. Carefully align the rack at the desired anchoring location.
2. Use the rack mounting foot as a template and mark the location of the
six 19mm (3/4in) diameter mounting holes. All six anchoring posi-
tions must be used.
3. Move the rack aside, drill holes in the concrete floor, and install the
mounting anchors (RAM RD-56 anchors recommended) per instruc-
tions provided with the anchors. Make sure that none of the anchors
comes in contact with the reinforcing wire mesh buried in the con-
crete; the rack must be electrically isolated from any other equipment
or materials at the site.
4. Align the rack with the installed anchors and lightly secure the rack
to the floor using the proper mounting hardware. Do not tighten the
mounting hardware at this time.
5. Check the vertical plumb of the rack. Also check that the top is level.
Use shims (flat washers or flat aluminum plates) as necessary under
the rack mounting foot to achieve vertical plumb and horizontal
level.
6. Tightly secure the rack to the floor anchors making sure that it re-
mains vertically plumb and horizontally level.
7. After all debris is removed and cement dust is cleared away, remove
whatever protective covering has been placed on the equipment, in-
cluding the antistatic bag.
