Prepare Rack for Chassis Installation

Prepare Rack for Chassis Installation
Install the NCS 5500 Series chassis into a four-post 19-inch (48.3-cm) standard rack with standard horizontal
mounting rails. Before you move the chassis or mount the chassis into the rack, we recommend that you do
the following:
Step 1 Place the rack where you plan to install the chassis. Ensure that the rack that the chassis is being installed is grounded
to earth ground as instructed in
Step 2 Secure the rack to the floor.
To bolt the rack to the floor, a floor bolt kit (also called an anchor embedment kit) is required. For information on bolting
the rack to the floor, consult a company that specializes in floor mounting kits (such as Hilti; see Hilti.com for details).
Make sure that floor mounting bolts are accessible, especially if annual retorquing of bolts is required.
