Installation or removal of this equipment requires at least two persons in
order to avoid possible personal injury or equipment damage. Install this
equipment in such a manner as to avoid any tipping hazard from uneven
loading of the rack.

the specific frame into the rack.
Fans that are mounted on this equipment provide forced-air cooling. Do not
block airflow around these fans. Replace all service panels and blank filler
plates. Keep the chassis door closed during normal operation.
This equipment is designed for installation in a standard 19" equipment rack. Provide sufficient

Insert the chassis into the equipment rack and support the bottom of the chassis while the
mounting hardware is being installed.
3.

4.
Install the top two chassis mounting screws.
5.
