Mounting the Chassis in a Rack
Mounting the Chassis in a Rack
This section describes the procedures for rack-mounting the chassis. The chassis comes
with brackets for use with a 19-inch rack or, if specified in your order, optional larger
brackets for use with a 24-inch rack. The brackets are shown in Figure 3-3.
• If the rack contains only one unit, mount the unit at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is a partically filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack contains stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers prior to mounting or
servicing the unit in the rack.
