Chapter 4 Installing a Cisco 6160 Without a POTS Splitter Configuration
4.2.1 Stabilize and Measure the Rack Space
For the rack to remain stable, you must install your Cisco 6160 system components from the bottom to
the top of the rack. Before you install any of the components, calculate the total rack space required to
install your system. The required rack space depends on the number of Cisco 6160 chassis that you plan
to use. The number of chassis increases if you plan to install a subtended network.
Note See
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure
your safety:
—This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
—When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
—If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing
the unit in the rack.
Warning Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with
both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
If you plan to expand your system to include more chassis in the future, allow space in the rack for
additions during the initial installation, keeping in mind the weight distribution and stability of the rack.
