CVX 1800 Hardware Installation Guide
Installing the CVX 1800 Chassis
Installing the CVX 1800 Chassis
Mounting Options
You can mount the CVX 1800 chassis in one of two ways:
•
Position the chassis on a flat, sturdy, horizontal surface.
•
Mount the chassis in a rack.
Positioning the Chassis on a Flat Surface
When positioning the chassis on a flat, sturdy surface, ensure that the surface is:
•
Large enough for the chassis to operate properly
•
Strong enough to support the combined weight of the chassis and the cables
Positioning the Chassis in a Rack
Before installing the chassis in a rack, you must decide if you want to flush-mount
or mid-mount the chassis. The mounting flanges are either preinstalled on the
chassis in the mid-mount position, or are included in the accessory kit. If you need
to reposition the preinstalled mounting flanges, read the next section.

Caution: Before you install the CVX 1800 chassis in a rack, ensure that
the rack is sturdy and well secured. A fully configured CVX 1800 chassis
weighs about 100 lb, which could make an unsecured rack top-heavy or
unstable.
Note: For NEBS 2000 compliance, you must install the CVX 1800
chassis in the mid-mount position.
