Installing the Xedge 6280

The chassis may be deployed in any of the following arrangements, detailed in the paragraphs that
follow. Allow adequate space around the chassis in order to install/remove modules, allow for
optional front door (if installed), make cable connections and provide adequate air flow.
• Standalone Desktop
• Front-mounted in 19-inch rack/cabinet
• Mid-mounted in 23-inch rack/cabinet
CAUTION
chassis may require two people. Before moving the chassis, take all necessary precautions to prevent
equipment damage and avoid personal injury. Be sure to disconnect all cables.
Desktop Installation
1. Install four supplied adhesive-backed feet to the embossed areas on the bottom of the chassis.
2. Ensure the chassis is not positioned directly adjacent to another chassis. This can cause
warmed air to flow from one unit into the adjacent unit.
Rack/Cabinet Installation
In the procedure below, select the proper mounting bracket kit and filler panels to fit your 19- or
23-inch rack or cabinet. If the Xedge 6280 has the optional door kit installed, be sure to allow proper
clearance between the bottom of the chassis and top of the unit mounted below.
• Front-mounted in 19-inch cabinet or open rack (with proper bracket kit)
• Mid-mounted in 23-inch cabinet or open rack (with proper bracket kit)

1. Using the flathead screws provided, attach the four mounting brackets to the left and right
sides of the chassis: two brackets support the front of the chassis, two support the back.
2. Using two screws for each bracket, mount the chassis assembly to the rack or cabinet.
3. Install blank panels at empty front/rear slots as necessary.
Note
IMPORTANT! When mounting the chassis in a rack shared with other equipment, ensure that the installation
meets the cooling requirements of all equipment. Maintain adequate space between the equipment to allow
unrestricted air flow to prevent equipment damage.
