Installing the 8610 Chassis in a Rack with Threaded Screw Holes
NOTE:
You may want to install the three supplied #4-40 Phillips pan-head screws for
the rear Telco connectors on the rear connectors before rack mounting the
DSLAM. This will make them readily available when needed. See
Installing
Network Tip and Ring Connections in Chapter 3, Cabling , for more
information.
Procedure
To install the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis in a rack that has threaded screw
holes:
1. Install the mounting brackets on
the 8610 chassis by removing the
two front screws on each side of
the unit. You will reuse these
screws to secure the mounting
brackets to the 8610 chassis.
— For a 19-inch rack installation,
the notched flange of the
mounting bracket is placed
against the side of the 8610
chassis.
— For a 23-inch rack installation, the smaller flange of the mounting bracket
is placed against the side of the 8610 chassis.
2. Secure the mounting brackets to the 8610 chassis by using the screws
removed from the sides of the unit.
3. Determine the preferred placement of the 8610 chassis in the rack. Then,
mark the appropriate locations for the mounting screws on the rack.
4. Place the 8610 chassis against the front rails of the rack and secure with the
appropriate mounting screws.
Repeat these steps for each succeeding 8610 chassis.
