Rack-Mounting
Refer to the following important guidelines before installing the chassis in a rack:
• Two people are required to rack mount the switch: One person to lift the chassis into position and one
person to secure the chassis to the rack using the rack mount screws.
• The chassis has rack-mount flanges that support standard 19-inch rack mount installations.
• Alcatel-Lucent does not provide rack-mount screws. Use the screws supplied by the rack vendor.
• To prevent a rack from becoming top heavy, it is recommended that you install the switch at the bottom
of the rack whenever possible.
Note. If you are installing the switch in a relay rack, be sure to install and secure the rack per rack manu-
facturer’s specifications.
