    The standard Chassis Accessory Kit fits all standard 19” racks and provides a set of front and back mounting brackets, with the necessary hardware. The optional CRM kit is specially designed to fit ClearCube-supplied cabinets and racks that feature four posts with square mounting holes for snap-in rack nuts. While this is an industry-standard style for mounting hardware, not all third-party racks can accept the CRM kit.
  • Page 39 A chassis assembly using the Chassis Accessory Kit can be installed either from the front or from the back of the rack. A chassis assembly using the CRM kit can be installed only from the front of the rack. Begin installing your chassis assemblies at the bottom of the rack or cabinet. This provides support for each chassis before it is securely mounted, and greatly simplifies getting the chassis square and level in the rack.

    Chassis Configuration and Operation R4300 Chassis By using a range of hot-swappable modules, the R4300 chassis provides a wide range of options for C/Port and I/Port connections to blades and to the network. Modules can be installed either when the chassis is installed, or when the blades are installed.
  • Page 44 R4300 Modules The R4300 modules are installed by sliding them into their respective bays and seating the connector. The three bays are of different sizes and shapes, and a module cannot be accidentally inserted into the wrong bay. All modules are hot-swappable, and can be replaced without affecting any existing switching configurations within the chassis.
