Installing the Chassis into an Equipment Cabinet
Install the E1200 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.
