Rack Mounting Instructions
If you want to rack mount your Xgig1000 chassis, follow these steps.
1
Use a screw driver to remove the 16 screws holding the rubber feet on, and set
screws aside.
Be careful to not re-insert the same screws for the rubber feet into the chassis once
the rubber feet are removed. They may interfere with the chassis’ operation. You
must use the shorter replacement screws provided instead.
2
Use a screw driver to insert the 16 replacement screws in the holes where the rubber
feet were attached.
3
Align one rack mount so that the short end is aligned with the two screw holes on the
side of the chassis and the long end is flush with the front of the chassis.
4
Attach the mounting bracket to the chassis with two of the four screws provided.

Repeat with the second mounting bracket on the other side of the chassis with the
remaining two screws.
6
Use a screw driver to tighten all mounting screws. Fasten securely, but do not over
tighten.
7
Mount the Xgig1000 chassis in your equipment rack. Use the screws provided to
attach the mounting bracket to the rack, two screws for each side.
Safety Protocol for Rack Mounting
Please adhere to the following guidelines when rack mounting your Xgig1000 chassis.
•
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the oper-
ating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by
the manufacturer.
