Installing the 8610 Chassis in a Rack without Threaded Screw Holes
Procedure
To install the Hotwire 8610 DSLAM chassis in a rack that does
not
have threaded
screw holes:
1. Install the mounting brackets on 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. Determine the preferred placement of the 8610 chassis in the rack.
3. Slip a Speed Nut onto each rail hole selected and align the hole of the Speed
Nut with the hole in the rail.
4. Line up the chassis mounting bracket with the Speed Nut and start to rotate
the screw into the chassis mounting bracket and the speed nut. Start all four
screws, then tighten all four until each screw head is flush with the chassis and
is securely mounted in the rack.
Repeat these steps for each succeeding 8610 chassis.
