Preparing the Rack for Chassis Installation

Install the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis into one of the following standard racks:
• ANSI 19-inch or 23-inch (2- or 4-post)
• ETSI
For the ANSI 19-inch rack, the minimum front opening must be 17.72 inches (450 mm) to allow for
Note
chassis insertion.
If you are installing a single chassis in a rack, the chassis must go in the middle or bottom portion of the rack
or follow your company chassis mounting practices.
At the bottom of the rack, keep 1 rack unit free to allow for removal of the bottom fan tray.
Note
To bolt the rack to the floor, a floor bolt kit (also called an anchor embedment kit ) is required. For information
on bolting the rack to the floor, consult a company that specializes in floor mounting kits (such as Hilti; see
