Figure 8   Rack-Mounting the Chassis

To install the chassis into a prepared rack: 

Install the E1200i DC system after you secure the rack shelf bar. Load the chassis in the lower half of the 
cabinet to avoid it becoming top-heavy. Make sure the cabinet is positioned with adequate space in the 
front, rear, and sides of the unit for proper ventilation, access to cables, and access for maintenance. 

Refer to 

 for complete requirements.

To install the chassis into an equipment cabinet: 

1.

If you center- or rear-mount the chassis in a 19-inch rack, adjust the chassis rack-mounting brackets to 
the desired position. 

2.

If you mount the chassis in a 23-inch rack, install the 23-inch adapter brackets.

3.

Use a hand cart, pallet jack, or forklift to align the rack-mount holes with the equipment rack holes, 
situating the chassis on top of the equipment rack shelf bar.

4.

Insert rack-mounting screws in the holes that are not obscured by the metal chassis shipping cover. 
Tighten the screws. See 

5.

Loosen and remove the screws that secure the chassis Front Shipping Cover and remove the cover.
