Rack Mounting the Chassis
The 7450 ESS-1 router chassis is designed for front and middle-mount installation into a 19-inch
rack. The rack mounting hardware (including rack bolts) is factory installed to front-mount the
chassis in a 19-inch rack.
It is easier to install the ESS-1 chassis in the rack with two people, one person to hold the router
and one person to secure it into the rack.
Required tools:
• Use a screwdriver to loosen and tighten the mounting bracket bolts.
Before you begin, verify:
• The equipment rack is securely installed, anchored, and grounded. Refer to the rack
manufacturer’s documentation for instructions.
• The power to the rack is OFF .
Danger:
• Only trained and qualified personnel should install or replace this equipment.
Caution:
• There are no handles or hand grips on the 7450 ESS-1. Lift the router from underneath. Do
not lift the router by the MDA slots.
• When rack mounting the chassis in an equipment rack, do not stack other ESS-1 units or
any other equipment directly on top (where the bottom unit is supporting other devices).
Each unit must be secured into the rack with the appropriate mounting apparatus.
