Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount Brackets
Verifying Rack Dimensions
Before you install the chassis, measure the space between the vertical mounting flanges (rails) on your
equipment rack to verify that the rack conforms to the measurements shown in
Figure 9-12
.
Step 1
Mark and measure the distance between two holes on the left and right mounting rails. The distance
should measure 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm).
Note
Measure for pairs of holes near the bottom, middle, and top of the equipment rack to ensure that
the rack posts are parallel.
Step 2
Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the
equipment rack. The space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis, which is
17.25 inches (43.8 cm) wide and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.

Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount Brackets
This section explains how to attach the front and rear rack-mount brackets to the chassis. Before
installing the chassis in the rack, you must install the rack-mount brackets on each side of the chassis.
The parts and tools required for installing the rack-mount brackets and cable-management brackets are
listed in the
“Tools and Equipment” section on page 5-23
.
Note
The cable-management brackets are attached to the chassis after you install the chassis rack-mount
brackets on the chassis and mount the chassis in the rack.
Chassis Front Rack-Mount Brackets
Determine where in the rack you want the chassis to be mounted. If you are mounting more than one
chassis in the rack, then start from the bottom up or the center of the rack.
