Installing the Cisco Remote PHY Shelf 7200 in a Two-Post Rack
You can install the Cisco Remote PHY Shelf 7200 in a two-post 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack either as a front
mount or a mid-mount if the spacing between rails is at least 17.70 inches (44.96cm) wide. If the rack rail
opening is narrower than this you can only use the mid mount option for mounting the chassis into the two
post rack.
The procedure for front mounting a chassis in a two-post rack is similar to the procedure for front mounting
in a four-post rack, except that you cannot use the second chassis installation bracket.
Caution If you are using a two-post rack, secure the rack to the floor surface to prevent tipping and physical injury,
and avoid damage to the component.
To mid-mount the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1
Ensure that all screw-fasteners on the installed components are securely tightened on the chassis. It is recommended to
remove the front Power Supplies and RPD's to lighten the chassis weight prior to installation.
Step 2
Ensure that your path to the rack is unobstructed.
If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or the rack is otherwise stabilized.
Step 3 Install the chassis installation bracket into the rack to support the chassis during installation when you secure it to the
rack.
Step 4
With two or more people, lift the chassis (partially unloaded) into position between the rack posts and rest it on the chassis
installation bracket.
The chassis can be lifted using the two large side handles and the rear Fan Tray Handles.
Ensure the rear Fan Tray handles are secured to the chassis with their 4 captive screws on the handles.
Note
Step 5
After the rear weight of the chassis is resting on the installation bracket, one person can hold it in place while the second
person moves to the rear of the rack to help slide it into place and hold the weight while the rack mount screws are
tightened.
Step 6
Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
