Rack-Mounting the 4700 Chassis

6.1

Mounting Process Summary

The 4700 chassis is mounted in a standard 19" rack with the Fabric Boards facing the front of
the rack. The 4700 is provided with an adjustable rail kit to accommodate racks of differing
depth. The 4700 rail kit is adjustable to accommodate a distance of depths of 24" (60 cm) to
40" (100 cm) between the rack's EIA rails.
In addition, the chassis is delivered with cable management (cabling guide brackets).
The mounting process consists of the following stages:
1. Standard chassis installation (up to 324 port configuration)

Assembling and mounting the rail.

Mounting the chassis on the rail, in a rack.
 Installing the cable management.
2. HyperScale chassis installation (up to 648 port configuration)

Assembling and mounting the rail.

Remove the standard 19" brackets (keep the screws for installation of the 19" brackets).

Install the 19" long brackets (part of P/N KIT-000222).

Slide and mount the chassis into the rack.

Installing the cable management.

Install the HyperScale cabling guide bracket. Note that you should count 5 slots to the
left of the bracket prior to installing it.

The HyperScale cable guide requires an additional 1U of rack space, making the total
height 20U instead of 19U.
(on page 77) for more information.
Because of the 4700 chassis weight, at least two people are required to mount this unit in
a rack.
