Chapter 4 Installation and Maintenance
Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the other side of the SCE 1000.
Step 3
This completes the steps for attaching the rack-mount brackets to the SCE 1000.
If mounting the SCE 1000 in a rack with only two posts, skip to How to Mount the System to the Rack.
If mounting the SCE 1000 in a rack with four posts, proceed to the next step to attach the cross rail
supports to the rack.

How to Attach the Cross Rail Supports to the Rack

When mounting in a rack with four posts (front and back) the two cross rail supports are mounted one
on each side of the rack. The SCE 1000 then slides into these cross rails, which support the weight of
the unit.
Note Cisco recommends that you allow at least 1 or 2 inches (2.54 or 5.08 cm) of vertical clearance between
the SCE 1000 and any equipment directly above and below it.
