If the NCS 2006 shelf is fully loaded, then two people should install it. However, it is possible for one person
to install an empty shelf. The shelf should be empty for easier lifting.
Mounting Multiple Nodes
Most standard (Telcordia GR-63-CORE, 19-inch (482.6-mm) or 23-inch (584.2-mm) 7-foot (2.133-m) racks
can hold seven NCS 2006 shelves and a fuse and alarm panel. However, unequal flange racks are limited to
six NCS 2006 shelves and a fuse and alarm panel, or seven NCS 2006 shelves using a fuse and alarm panel
from an adjacent rack. In an ANSI shelf, the brackets can be mounted in the front or middle position.
The NCS 2006 shelves can be mounted above each other without any space between the shelves. This method
of mounting does not restrict the air flow because the air vents are on either sides of the NCS 2006 shelves.
ETSI Rack Installation
The NCS 2006 shelf is mounted on a 600 x 600-mm (23.6 x 23.6-inch) or 600 x 300-mm (23.6 x 11.8-inch)
ETSI standard equipment rack. In an ETSI rack, the shelf can be mounted only in the front position. The shelf
projects 1.7 inch (43.18 mm) from the front of the rack and is a total of 431.8 mm (17 inch) wide with no
mounting ears attached. Cisco does not provide ring runs, which might hinder side-by-side installation of
shelves where space is limited.
The NCS 2006 shelf measures 264.16 mm (10.4 inches) high, 535 mm (21.06 inches) wide, and 304.8 mm
(11.1 inches) deep. You can install up to seven NCS 2006 shelves in a 7-foot (2133.6-mm) equipment rack.
