Chapter 4: Rack Mounting
The SC6300 Series Chassis can be placed on a flat surface, such as a table, or mounted in a rack.
For mounting in a rack, there are two stages:
A. Rack preparation.
B. Chassis installation.
A. Rack Preparation
The rack needs to be checked for the following:
1.
Verify that the rack environment in which the equipment is to be installed is compatible
with the maximum transient operating temperature (55°C).
2.
Confirm the rack is stable and will not tip over when the chassis is being loaded in it.
3.
Verify that the rack has support rails installed. Refer to the rack's documentation for
information on installing the rack and the required rails .
Warning
Do not attempt to install the chassis if rails are absent or if the rack's ears are the only
support for the chassis weight. THE CHASSIS FRONT MOUNTING BRACKETS ARE NOT
INTENDED TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE CHASSIS AND ITS BLADES.
B. Install the Chassis
To install the chassis in the rack, the steps are as follows:
1.
If the chassis is to be lifted by hand into the rack, it is recommended that all the blades from
the front of the chassis are removed to reduce weight.
If you are using equipment to lift the chassis into the rack then the removal of blades can
you should go directly to step 2.
•
Loosen the thumb screws on each blade and lift the ejector latches to the open position.
