Preparing the Equipment Rack
This section explains how to prepare the equipment rack for the chassis.
The procedure requires the following items:
 #2 Phillips-head screwdriver (not provided)
 Two equipment rack screws (not provided)
To prepare the equipment rack for the AT-SBx8106 Chassis, perform the
following procedure:
Caution
The chassis is heavy and should be mounted as low as possible in
the equipment rack to maximize vertical stability.
1. Reserve 190.0 mm (7.5“) of vertical rack space for the installation of
the AT-SBx8106 Chassis, as shown in Figure 34 on page 108.
2. Do not mount any equipment within 152.4 mm (6”) above this space
during installation. This additional vertical space is temporary and
allows you enough room to lift and tilt the chassis into its position in the
equipment rack without striking other equipment. You may use this
additional space for other network equipment after the chassis is
installed.
