Install the Unit Into a Rack Enclosure

Mount the unit in its assigned position in the rack enclosure. Use, as required:
• A standard rack-mounted shelf, if needed;
•
User-supplied fasteners to secure the products to the rack enclosure threaded front
mounting rails.
Figure 2-2 provides a "cut-away" side view of a typical rack configuration for modems combined
with the CRS-300, optional CRS-280, and optional CRS-350:
•
The CRS-300 is constructed as a 4RU-high, rack-mounting chassis. Handles on the Switch
front panel facilitate placement and removal of the Switch into a rack.
•
Mount all Switches and modems in the rack as necessary. Use the mounting holes on the
product front panels to secure the primary equipment to the rack front mounting rails with
your user-supplied fasteners.
•
You can mount the CRS-280 IF Switch at the back or on top of the rack. If you use the
CRS-280L, refer also to the associated CRS-280L 1:N Redundancy Switch Installation and
Operation Manual (MN/CRS280L.IOM) for further rack mounting information.
•
The CRS-350 mounts at the back of the rack. The CRS-350 mounting brackets allow you to
hinge the unit down. This facilitates access to the interface connectors at the rear of the
CRS-350, and makes cable connections easy between the CRS-350, CRS-300, and modems.
CAUTION – When installing the equipment into a rack enclosure:
•
PROPER GROUNDING PROTECTION IS REQUIRED. The equipment must be
connected to the protective earth connection at all times. It is therefore
imperative that the unit is properly grounded, using the ground stud provided on
the unit rear panels, during installation, configuration, and operation.
