Mounting the Device
You can install the device in several ways:
•
As a stand-alone unit on a flat surface, for example, a table top. Use the rubber feet included with the shipment to
secure the device on the surface. No other equipment is required for desktop installation.
•
In a four-post EIA rack: You need a Universal Four-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000296) to install devices in EIA racks that
are between L-12.7 cm to 81.28 cm deep (L-5.0 in. to 32.0 in.), where L is the chassis depth.
•
In a two-post Telco rack: You need a Universal Two-Post Rack Kit (XBR-R000294) to install 1U and 2U devices in a
two-post telecommunications (Telco) rack.
NOTE
Review the following precautions before mounting the device.
Precautions Specific to Mounting
The following precautions apply to mounting the device:
DANGER
Use safe lifting practices when moving the product.
DANGER
Mount the devices you install in a rack as low as possible. Place the heaviest device at the bottom and
progressively place lighter devices above.
CAUTION
Make sure the airflow around the front and back of the device is not restricted.
CAUTION
Never leave tools inside the chassis.

Do not use the port cover tabs to lift the module. They are not designed to support the weight of the module,
which can fall and be damaged.
