Statement 1049
Warning
Preparing to Mount the Chassis in a Rack
Before you mount the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis into a rack, it is critical that the installation site be prepared
properly to handle the chassis weight, power requirements, cooling needs, and other requirements.
Because a fully-configured chassis weight can be up to 412 lb (187 kg), you should review the rack
specifications from the manufacturer to determine whether the racks you have are appropriate to handle the
weight of the chassis. For specifications on the chassis, see
the
Cisco Network Convergence System 4000
Series Hardware Installation Guide .
To avoid tipping the chassis and possible injury when installing it, take care to properly position the chassis
in the rack when you are mounting it.
Caution
Before mounting the chassis in the rack, perform the following steps:
Installing the Mounting Brackets
This section explains how to install the top and bottom mounting brackets for the specific type of rack you
are using.
• For 2-post ANSI racks, the brackets are installed in the middle position.
• For 4-post ANSI racks and ETSI cabinets, the brackets are installed in the front position.
