What to do next
After moving the chassis to the room or area where you will install it, begin the procedure to mount the chassis
into the rack.
Mount Chassis Into the Rack
To accommodate equipment racks with different mounting hole patterns, the chassis mounting brackets have
groups of screw holes on either side. The mounting holes in the chassis mounting brackets are spaced so that
one mounting hole in each hole group aligns with a corresponding hole in the equipment rack. By using the
corresponding mounting hole (in the same hole group) on the opposite side of the chassis, you can level the
chassis in the rack.
As an example of a suitable lifting device, the following figure shows a scissor lift raising the chassis.
Note To lift the chassis, use a mechanical lift. Do not use the handles on the side of the chassis. Use the side handles
for only repositioning the chassis after it is already on the mechanical lift or in the rack or cabinet.
