Installing the Chassis in a Rack 
Rack-Mounting the Chassis
The 7705 SAR-M chassis is designed for installation in a 19-inch rack. The rack-mount 
brackets are factory-installed. Figure 18 illustrates the installation of the chassis in a rack. 
Table 14 lists the rack-mounting components.
European customers can order adapter brackets to allow mounting of the 7705 SAR-M 
chassis (actively cooled variants only) in an ETSI rack. Contact your Alcatel-Lucent sales 
representative to order the ETSI adapter bracket kit (part number 3HE05260AA). 
Danger: Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace this equipment.
Warning: 
• Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and always connect an ESD strap 
to a nearby ground point that is connected to the site grounding point when working on 
the 7705 SAR-M. Typical ground points include a properly grounded rack or work 
bench.
• Failure to comply with the location requirements outlined in Installation Locations and 
Chassis Location Requirements may impede proper airflow, which may result in 
equipment failure due to overheating.
• Non-conductive coatings (such as lacquer and enamel) must be removed from threads 
and other contact surfaces to ensure electrical conductivity. Thread-forming screws with 
paint piercing washers may be used for this purpose during installation.
• When rack-mounting the chassis in an equipment rack, do not stack one 7705 SAR-M 
chassis or any other equipment directly on top of another 7705 SAR-M chassis, such 
that the bottom chassis is supporting other devices. Each chassis must be secured in 
the rack with the appropriate mounting apparatus.
