Chassis Installation
Unpacking the Chassis
Open the chassis box, remove the packing material, and check the chassis for any
visible damage. Contact the carrier for an immediate on-site inspection if damage is
found. If there are no visible problems, remove the unit from the box and set it on a
flat working surface.
R4300 modules are packaged individually and shipped in a carton separate from the
chassis, with their appropriate patch cables in each package.
Installing the Chassis
ClearCube offers two methods to mount chassis in a rack:
• Chassis Accessory Kit, included with all chassis
• Chassis Rapid Mount (CRM) kit, available separately.
The standard Chassis Accessory Kit fits all standard 19-inch racks and provides a set
of front and back mounting brackets, with the necessary hardware. The optional CRM
kit is specially designed to fit ClearCube-supplied cabinets and racks that feature four
posts with square mounting holes for snap-in rack nuts. While this is an
industry-standard style for mounting hardware, not all third-party racks can accept the
CRM kit.
If you plan to use a cabinet enclosure, ensure that you have at least 34 inches (86 cm)
of interior depth measured from the front of the unit, to accommodate the cabling that
exits from the back of each chassis. The spacing between the front and back rails can
be no more than 30 inches (76 cm).
A chassis assembly using the Chassis Accessory Kit can be installed either from the
front or from the back of the rack. A chassis assembly using the CRM kit can be
installed only from the front of the rack.
CAUTION: To avoid equipment damage and potential personal injury,
assemble and position the chassis without blades installed.
