Chassis Installation
You will need a large, Phillips screwdriver to install the HotWire 8800 DSLAM
chassis into a commercial EIA-standard 19- or 23-inch rack.
The chassis is equipped with reversible mounting brackets to allow installation in
racks that are either 19 or 23 inches wide. These brackets are initially positioned
to allow the chassis to be installed in a 19-inch wide rack. For both the 19- and
23-inch wide rack, the chassis can be installed in one of three depth positions
(front flush mount, 3-inch setback, or 5-inch setback) as illustrated below.
