Site Preparation
Before moving the chassis into place and securing it, you must make sure that your site is prepared. Verify
that the securing location provides the recommended space and ensure that you have enough space available
for installation and maintenance of the chassis and its components.
For additional details on making your site ready for the chassis, see the
Cisco Network Convergence System
6000 Series Routers Site Planning Guide
.
System Installation Templates
Because of its size and weight, the chassis must be securely bolted to the floor. Cisco provides a drill hole
template (
Figure 1: Drill Hole Template for the Cisco NCS 6000 Series Chassis
) that ships attached to the
inside of the crate door. This template identifies the chassis footprint and the pattern of holes that must be
drilled into the floor for the mounting hardware that secures the chassis to the floor. This drill template is used
for both the LCC and FCC.
For more information about floor plans, clearance information, and planning for future space needs, see the
Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series Routers Site Planning Guide.
