Chapter 3 Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM Installation

Installing the Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM in a Rack

Note

If you are using the chassis installation handles on the front rack-mount brackets, you must first remove
the handles to install the fourth screw.

Step 8

Ensure that all screws on each side rack-mount brackets are tightened to the equipment rack then the
chassis installation brackets can be removed from the rack (see

Figure 3-10

Figure 3-10

Securing the Side Rack-Mount Brackets

You can install your Cisco RFGW-10 chassis in a two-post rack (see

“Two-Post Rack Installation

Mid-Mounted” section on page 3-16

) or a four-post rack.
