Installing the ROME Chassis

Installing the ROME Chassis involves the following steps:
1.

Mounting the ROME Chassis

2. Mounting the patch panel
3. Cabling (fiber and ground)
Note: Configuring the ROME equipment is covered in the ROME Software Configuration Manual.
4.1 Mounting the ROME Chassis
Orient the front of the ROME Chassis as needed based on configuration.
Take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. In particular, mount the first ROME
unit on the lowest set of sliders. Continue to mount ROME units from the bottom up. Two people are
recommended for this step of the process.
1. Move the ROME Chassis to the lift.
2. Position the ROME unit with the front panel on the inner side of the lift (front panel facing
the lift mechanism).
3. Route the patch panel through the rack and leave it on the other side of the rack.
4. Extend (slide-out) the sliders arms to maximum extension.
5. Raise the ROME carefully and place it at the appropriate height in between the sliders.
6. Align the extended arms of the sliders with the ROME mounting brackets located on the left
and right side at the top of the ROME.
7. Securely attach the slider arms to the ROME mounting brackets using the supplied
screws (do not use washers or nuts). Attach the chassis with six (6) phillips head screws on each side.
All six (6) screws should be installed whenever possible, but five (5) screws is sufficient for supporting
the ROME chassis on the slider.
