Securing the Chassis
This chapter describes how to secure the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis in the rack.
To install two Cisco NCS 4016 chassis in a single rack, you will need to have a minimum vertical opening
of 48 RU. If you are using the DC Power Front Connection Adapter, only one chassis will fit into the rack.

Preparing the Rack for Chassis Installation
Install the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis into one of the following standard racks:
• ANSI 19-inch or 23-inch (2- or 4-post)
• ETSI
For the ANSI 19-inch rack, the minimum front opening must be 17.72 inches (450 mm) to allow for chassis
insertion.
Note
If you are installing a single chassis in a rack, the chassis must go in the middle or bottom portion of the rack
or follow your company chassis mounting practices.
At the bottom of the rack, keep 1 rack unit free to allow for removal of the bottom fan tray.
Note
To bolt the rack to the floor, a floor bolt kit (also called an
anchor embedment kit
) is required. For information
on bolting the rack to the floor, consult a company that specializes in floor mounting kits (such as Hilti; see
Hilti.com for details). Make sure that floor mounting bolts are accessible, especially if annual re-torquing of
bolts is required.
