Cabinet-Style 4-Post Chassis Installation
The following sections explain how to mount your Acme Packet 4500 in a cabinet-
style, 4-post equipment rack.
Mounting System
Acme Packet provides flexible mounting options for your Acme Packet 4500
equipment rack installation.
Stationary slides are mounted on each side of the equipment rack. Complimentary
chassis slides are mounted on each side of the Acme Packet 4500 chassis. Once the
equipment rack and chassis hardware is in place, the chassis can be inserted along
its slide rails into the equipment rack. When the Acme Packet 4500 is fully inserted
into the equipment rack, it is secured in place with two thumbscrews.
Installing the
Stationary Slides
In this first stage of system installation, secure the stationary slide to the equipment
rack. The painted end of the stationary rail is attached to the front of the equipment
rack and the bare steel side is attached to the rear of the equipment rack. The
stationary rail can expand and contract to accommodate equipment racks of various
depths.
The stationary rail is mounted to both tapped hole rack rails and square rack rails.
Follow the appropriate procedure below according to your rack type.
Slide Extender
Installation
This section applies to both tapped- and square-hole installations. If the distance
between the front and rear rails of the equipment rack is between 28” and 32” (71.1
cm and 81.3 cm), the slide extenders are required for mounting the system. Attach
these slide extenders to the stationary slides as a preliminary step in the Acme Packet
4500 installation.
To install a slide extender on a stationary slide:
1. Locate the following components in the slide extender bag:
•
2 x slide extenders
•
4 x 10-32 x 3/8” screws with square cone washer
