Installing the Flange-Mounted Chassis
The following procedure describes how to install the flange-mounted Acme Packet 1100 to
each side of the chassis into a 2- or 4-post chassis rack.
•
The flange mounts should be attached to the Acme Packet 1100 as described in the
previous procedure.
•
To prevent overheating, ensure that there is enough room for appropriate airflow on either
side of the chassis and that there is adequate ventilation in the room in which the chassis is
being installed.
•
Ensure that there is enough room to access the front and back panel of the chassis for
purposes of reviewing front/back panel LEDs and inserting/removing cables from the back
panel.
•
Screws/washers (customer-supplied) for attachment to the equipment rack.
To install a flange-mounted Acme Packet 1100 into a 2- or 4-post rack:
1.
Align the holes in each of the rack mount flanges with the appropriate holes in the chassis
rack, and then support the rack in place.
2.
Attach the flange-mounted Acme Packet 1100 chassis to the rack by inserting a screw and
washer (customer-supplied) into each of the 2 holes on one side of the flange mount. Then
use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten and secure each screw.
