Install a Nortel Networks Multiservice Switch 7440 into a rack or cabinet.
The mounting brackets bolt into the side rails of the rack or cabinet.
• If you plan to install the device in a Nortel Networks Multiservice Switch
cabinet, check the position of the uprights. You must set the front
uprights back 11.4 cm (4.5 in.) from the front of the cabinet. The spacing
between front and rear uprights must be 36.8 cm (14.5 in.).
• Install and ground the rack or cabinet before proceeding. For more
information, see "Cabinet installation" (page 105).
• Ground yourself to an appropriate anti-static discharge apparatus while
handling the shelf assembly (device).
1 Secure the left and right rack-mounting brackets to the rack. Insert the
4 screws into the holes in each bracket and into the respective holes in the
rack. Then, fasten the screws. See the figure "Securing the rack-mounting
brackets to a rack" (page 280).
2 Secure the rack-mounting crossmember to the rear of the rack-mounting
brackets with the 2 screws provided. See the figure "Securing the rack-
mounting brackets to a rack" (page 280).
3 Place the device on the rack-mounting brackets. Use the two remaining
screws to fasten the chassis to the right-hand bracket. Ensure that the
rear of the device is fully seated on the rack-mount brackets. See the
figure "Securing the chassis to a rack" (page 281).
