Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

2.2.3 Rack-Mounting Requirements

Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with
Warning
both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
Warning
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure
your safety:
—This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
—When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
—If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing
the unit in the rack.
We recommend that you mount the Cisco 6160 system in a rack. Ensure that vertical hole spacing on the
rack rails meets standard EIA-310-C requirements—1 inch (2.54 cm) spacing. All portions of the rack
should be equal to or less than the NEBS maximum allowances of 12 inches (30.48 cm) in depth.
When you install the Cisco 6160 system in a rack, be sure to allow enough room to access the backplane
of the unit for wiring and cabling purposes. The majority of the Cisco 6160 connectors are located on
the backplane.
