Introduction
In most cases, stations are shipped in the selected cabinet or rack (i.e., the station
is mounted and cabled), and may be installed by following the procedures below.
However, the following three scenarios require special mounting procedures:
• Customer plans to mount equipment in customer-supplied rack or cabinet,
and orders equipment to ship from the factory without a rack or cabinet.
• Customer orders two stations in a single rack.
• Customer requires slide rail assembly.
Installing Racks
In a typical installation, the rack is bolted to a concrete floor to provide stability.
The following procedure describes the steps necessary to bolt the rack to a con-
crete floor. Be sure to check with local authorities to verify that the following pro-
cedure conforms to local building codes and regulations before permanently
installing the rack.
1. Carefully align the rack at the desired anchoring location.
2. Use the rack mounting foot as a template and mark the location of the six
19mm (3/4in) diameter mounting holes. All six anchoring positions must be
used.
3. Move the rack aside, drill holes in the concrete floor, and install the mount-
ing anchors (RAM RD-56 anchors recommended) per instructions provided
with the anchors. Make sure that none of the anchors comes in contact with
the reinforcing wire mesh buried in the concrete; the rack must be electrical-
ly isolated from any other equipment or materials at the site.
4. Align the rack with the installed anchors and lightly secure the rack to the
floor using the proper mounting hardware. Do not tighten the mounting
hardware at this time.
5. Check the vertical plumb of the rack. Also check that the top is level. Use
shims (flat washers or flat aluminum plates) as necessary under the rack
mounting foot to achieve vertical plumb and horizontal level.
6. Tightly secure the rack to the floor anchors making sure that it remains ver-
tically plumb and horizontally level.
7. After all debris is removed and cement dust is cleared away, remove what-
ever protective covering has been placed on the equipment, including the an-
tistatic bag.
Cement dust from concrete flooring is harmful to electronic equipment and
!
wiring. Make sure that the rack and any collocated equipment are protected
prior to drilling holes in the concrete floor. Use a tarpaulin, cloth, or plastic
sheeting to cover exposed equipment. (The rack should be already covered
