Chapter 4 Installing a Cisco 6260 Without a POTS Splitter Configuration
Installation Procedures
Before you install any of the chassis, measure the total rack space required to install your system. The
required rack space depends on the number of Cisco 6260 chassis that you plan to use. The number of
chassis increases if you plan to install a subtended network.
Note
See
Chapter 2, “Preparing for Installation,”
to determine the total rack space you need for your
configuration.
Warning
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure
your safety:
—This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
—When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
—If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing
the unit in the rack.
Warning
Two people are required to lift the chassis. Grasp the chassis underneath the lower edge and lift with
both hands. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
Warning
Never attempt to lift the chassis with the handles on the power supplies, fan trays, or the switching
modules. These handles are not designed to support the weight of the chassis. Using them to lift or
support the chassis can result in severe damage to the equipment and serious bodily injury.
If you plan to expand your system to include more chassis in the future, allow space in the rack for
additions, keeping in mind the weight distribution and stability of the rack.
