Component Overview
Chassis
The Acme Packet 4600 System is contained in a 1U rack-mounted chassis. It can be
front- or center mounted in standard 19” wide racks (up to 28” deep), with options for
23” wide racks.
Mounting Hardware
The Acme Packet 4600 System is supported by a pair of cabinet slides that are
affixed to an equipment rack by front and rear mounting flanges. The cabinet slides are
adjustable for equipment racks of various depths.
Equipment Rack Installation Hardware
For equipment rack installations, the system chassis is outfitted with left and right
chassis-mounted slide rails. One rail is secured to each side of the chassis, that slides
into another rail that is attached to the inner posts on both sides of the equipment
rack. This two-piece mounting system simplifies chassis installation and removal.
When installing the chassis, the user can easily slide the chassis along the slide rails
until a locking clip on each chassis-mounted rail locks the chassis into the slide rails.
Pressing this clip will then allow the chassis to be fully installed into the equipment
rack. Once inserted into the equipment rack, the Acme Packet 4600 is secured in
place with two captive thumbscrews.
The locking clip is also a safety mechanism for removing the chassis
from the equipment rack. When removing the chassis, the locking clip
engages to prevent the chassis from being overextended and requiring
the user to unlock the clip to intentionally remove the chassis.
