Securing the Chassis
This chapter describes how to secure the Cisco NCS 6008 chassis to a concrete floor. The chassis is
shipped with a drill hole template to assist you in putting the bolts in the proper position on the floor.
The template is used for both raised floors and slabs. The drill hole template identifies primary and
secondary locations for securing the chassis to the floor. Whenever possible, use the following:
•
Primary mounting locations
•
Secondary locations only when the primary locations are not available
The instructions in this chapter are specific to securing the chassis to a concrete floor. The instructions
for securing the chassis to a raised floor vary from site to site, depending on such details as whether your
floor needs additional support (as local practice applies for raised floors), and where (depending on the
location of the floor tiles) the bolt holes need to be. Work with your facilities representative to determine
your needs for your particular site.
Prerequisites
Identify chassis location and ensure that there is sufficient space before performing this task.
