Installing the Center-Mount Hardware
Center-mounting flanges are attached to each side of the Acme Packet 3900. These
mounting flanges are reversible, and are not mated to a specific side of the chassis.
While the Acme Packet 3900 is shipped with all mounting hardware for attaching
the rack flanges to the chassis, you must obtain and use the appropriate hardware
recommended by the equipment rack manufacturer for mounting the system in the
rack.
To install your Acme Packet 3900 in a center-mount configuration:
1.
Locate the following components:
•
Center-mounting flanges (2)
•
#6-32 x 1/4” flat head screws (6)
2.
Line up one chassis flange with the three tapped holes found along the center of
the side of the Acme Packet 3900 chassis. The three screw holes of the chassis
flange will only align in one direction.
3.
Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten the three #6-32 x 1/4” flat head screws
to secure the flange to the chassis.
4.
Repeat this procedure for the other side of the Acme Packet 3900 chassis.
Installing the Chassis in the Rack
The Acme Packet 3900 chassis is now ready to be installed into a 2-post equipment
rack. To prevent personal injury or damage to the Acme Packet 3900 follow these
guidelines:
•
This installation requires two people and should not be attempted otherwise.
•
Follow your organization’s best practices for lifting and installing heavy
components into an equipment rack.
•
Ensure that the Acme Packet 3900 chassis remains supported until you have
completely installed it into the equipment rack.
1.
Locate the following components: Equipment rack screws (4)
2.
Lift the Acme Packet 3900 into the correct position in the equipment rack.
3.
Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure two screws through the mounting flanges
on the Acme Packet 3900 and into the equipment rack. One person should hold
the Acme Packet 3900 in the correct position while the other person screws the
Acme Packet 3900 in place.
4.
Ensure that the Acme Packet 3900 chassis remains supported until you have
completely installed it into the equipment rack.
