Installation Methods

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-40 Wireless Controller s are designed for standalone, 2-rail 19-inch rack-mount
(front rail only), and 4-rail 19-inch rack-mount (front and rear rail) installations.

Although rack-mounting is the preferred method of installation, you can mount the chassis on an equipment
shelf or tabletop.

Read the installation instructions before using, installing or connecting the system to the power source.

Statement 1004

Warning

Proceed with the installation, if you have already unpacked your chassis and read all the site requirements for
your new equipment.
