Securing the Chassis

This chapter describes how to secure the Cisco NCS 6000 Series chassis to a concrete floor.
•
Securing the Chassis
The chassis is shipped with a drill hole template to assist you in putting the bolts in the proper position on the
floor. The template is used for both raised floors and slabs. The drill hole template identifies primary and
secondary locations for securing the chassis to the floor. Whenever possible, use the following:
• Primary mounting locations
• Secondary locations only when the primary locations are not available
The instructions in this chapter are specific to securing the chassis to a concrete floor. The instructions for
securing the chassis to a raised floor vary from site to site, depending on such details as whether your floor
needs additional support (as local practice applies for raised floors), and where (depending on the location of
the floor tiles) the bolt holes need to be. Work with your facilities representative to determine your needs for
your particular site.

Prerequisites

Identify the chassis location and ensure that there is sufficient space before performing this task.

Required Tools and Equipment

• Drill hole template
• Marking pen or pencil
• 3/8-inch ratchet wrench
• Set of standard and metric sockets
• Drill and bits for masonry and wood
