Rack-Mounting the CSS 11506 Chassis

Warning

Installing a CSS Module

78-17231-01
You are ready to install the CSS in the rack. Before you install the CSS 11506 into
an equipment rack, note the following:
Always install heavier equipment in the lower half of a rack to maintain a low
•
center of gravity. This practice helps prevent the rack from falling over.
Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.
•
At least three people are required to mount the chassis in the equipment rack:
two people are needed to hold the chassis in place while a third person
tightens the mounting screws.
To install the CSS 11506 chassis into an equipment rack:
Raise the CSS to the installation height and align the screw holes on the
1.
mounting bracket with the holes on the equipment rack.
Secure each mounting bracket to each side of the rack.
2.
The modules that you ordered with either the CSS 11503 or CSS 11506 chassis
are preinstalled. If you need to reseat a module, or remove and replace it, refer to
