Cisco CATALYST 6509E 9 SLOT 15U CHASSIS NO POWER SUPPLY NO FAN TRAY Specification Guide

If you are not installing the Catalyst 6509-NEB switch, Catalyst 6509-NEB-A switch, or Catalyst 6513 
switch in the rack, see 

.

Chassis can be mounted in equipment racks that meet ANSI/EIA 310-D and ETS 300-119 standards.

You are now ready to install the switch chassis in the rack.

We recommend that you have a third person to assist in this procedure.

For easier installation, the chassis should be empty when you install it in the rack.

Two people are required to lift the chassis. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your 
legs, not your back. Statement 164

To install the switch chassis in the equipment rack, follow these steps:

With a person standing at each side of the chassis, grasp the chassis handle with one hand, and use the 
other hand near the back of the chassis for balance. Slowly lift the chassis in unison. Avoid sudden twists 
or moves to prevent injury.

Position the chassis in the rack as follows:

If the front of the chassis (front panel) is at the front of the rack, insert the rear of the chassis between 
the mounting posts, resting the chassis on the shelf brackets, and then carefully slide the chassis into 
the rack. 

If the rear of the chassis is at the front of the rack, insert the front of the chassis between the 
mounting posts, resting the chassis on the shelf brackets, and then carefully slide the chassis into the 
rack. 

Align the mounting holes in the L bracket with the mounting holes in the equipment rack.
