Aisle Spacing and Maintenance Access Floor Plan

The floor plan for the Cisco NCS 6008 chassis must include enough space to install the chassis and allow
sufficient airflow for the system. The floor plan must also provide enough room to access chassis
components for maintenance (for example, to remove fan trays, power components, cables, and air
filters).

Drill Hole Template

Before moving the chassis into place and securing it, you must make sure that your site is prepared.
Because of its size and weight, the chassis must be securely bolted to the floor. Several possible bolting
configurations exist for the chassis. Cisco provides a drill hole template to identify the chassis footprint
and the pattern of holes that must be drilled into the floor for the mounting hardware that secures the
chassis to the floor.
