Free-Standing Installation; Installation In A Rack - Cisco BPX 8600 Series Installation Manual

IPX 8 Cabinet Installation
The IPX 8 cabinet can be mounted either in an equipment rack or left free-standing. It is
self-contained and small enough to stand on a flat support such as a table or bench. For
rack-mounting the IPX 8, the appropriate, optional rack-mounting kit should be ordered to obtain
the appropriate mechanical mounting hardware. The paragraphs that follow describe the common
mounting procedures.

Free-Standing Installation

For free-standing installation, move the IPX 8 cabinet into position. It rests on four fixed position
rubber feet.

Installation in a Rack

If an IPX 8 is ordered with the rack mounting hardware, it comes with two rack-mounting rails
strapped to the top packing plate. To install the IPX 8 in a rack by using these rails, refer to
Figure 2-8 and proceed as follows:

Remove the rack mounting rails from the packaging along with the package of mounting
hardware.
Locate the tapped holes on the side of the IPX 8 cabinet. One set of holes is for
front-mounting of the cabinet, the other set is used for center-mounting.
Attach the rails to the cabinet by using the #10-32 machine screws.
Identify the locator studs provided with the kit (threaded on one end, smooth on the other
end).
Secure locator studs into the rack holes that correspond to the top holes in the rack
mounting rails.
Lift the IPX 8 and temporarily hang it from the locator studs.
Screw in the rack mounting screws then remove the locator studs.
