Installing the CDEs
Rail Kits
First generation CDEs originally shipped with the Rev. A rail kit. This kit required screws to mount the
rails to the rack. Replacement CDEs and CDEs shipped with Cisco TV CDS Release 2.4 software or later
come with the Rev. B quick release rail kit in short rail or long rail sizes. The dimensions of the rails are
as follows:
•
Rev. B long rails range from 26.5 to 36.4 inches.
•
Rev. B short rails range from 19 to 26 inches.
•
Rev. A rails only come range from 27 to 34 inches.
Note
Retain your original inner rails in case the unit is returned by an RMA.
