56 Chapter 3 Installing the 8010co chassis
316314-E Rev 01
Supplying equipment
You might need items that are not included in the 8010co chassis accessory
package. Before installing the 8010co hardware, ensure that you have all the
cables, tools, and other equipment that you need.
Cables
Unless you specifically ordered them, the cables required for your network
configuration are not included in the 8010co chassis accessory package. If you do
not have the proper cables, contact your network administrator.
Hardware for mounting the chassis in an equipment rack
The hardware required for mounting the 8010co chassis in an equipment rack
depends on your equipment rack type.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver to install the 8010co chassis in a standard
rail-type equipment rack. You will need a nutdriver to install the 8010co chassis
in a Hendry rack.
The racks must meet the following specifications:
• Heavy-duty steel construction
• Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard hole-spacing
• Two-post rack with width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)
• Two-post rack with width of 23 in. (58.42 cm) and depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)
(Requires an EIA 19-to-23-inch adapter. Contact your rack manufacturer to
order this adapter).
If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you must use the supplied clipnuts
with the clipnut screws (see
Figure 31 on page 63 ).
Management console
To configure startup options and to monitor the results of startup diagnostics, you
can attach a PC, laptop, VT-100 console or equivalent, such as a PC terminal
emulator. Or, you can attach an AT-compatible modem to allow dial-in access to
startup configuration and diagnostics.
