Unpack and Install the Chassis
Figure 16: Remove Shipping Brackets from 8608 Chassis
1
2
Remove the 16 x M4 screws from the 8608 chassis and remove the shipping brackets.
To make the chassis weigh less for moving, remove the following module and place them where their connectors
will not be damaged:
• Switch Cards
Leave the chassis on the pallet until you are ready to move and install the chassis in a rack.
What to do next:
Attach bottom support rails to the chassis
Install Bottom-Support Rails
The bottom-support rails support the weight of the router chassis in the rack. To maximize the stability of the
rack, you must attach these rails at the lowest possible rack unit (RU).
Procedure
Step 1
Position the vertical rack rails at 32" depth to match with the length of the bottom-support rails. Check spacing
considerations.
• Maintain at least 16 RU (28 inches [71.12 cm]) for 8608 chassis of vertical space above support rails.
