Rack Mounting the Chassis

Each 700wl Series chassis comes with attached L-brackets suitable for mounting the chassis in a standard

19-inch (48.3 cm) equipment rack with two unobstructed outer posts. This unit is not suitable for

mounting in racks with obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair access to the device. The air

space in front and rear of system should be 6.00 in. minimum.

Caution: Ground the chassis properly with the supplied power cord.

Caution: Be sure to position the power cord so that you can easily disconnect the chassis.

Caution: Do not install the chassis in an environment where the operating temperature might exceed

C (123

F).

Caution: Do not restrict air flow around the side and rear of the chassis. The air space in front and rear

of system should be 6.00 in. minimum.

Required Installation Tools

The following tools and equipment are required to install the chassis in a rack:

• Tape measure and level

• Number 2 Phillips screwdriver

Mounting Procedure

To install a chassis in a rack, follow these steps:

Step 1. Prepare for installation as follows:

a. Place the chassis on the floor or on a sturdy table, as close as possible to the rack. Leave

enough clearance to allow yourself to move around the chassis.

b. Use the tape measure to measure the depth of the rack. Measure from the outside of the front

mounting posts to the outside of the rear mounting strip. The depth must be at least 15.00

inches (38.1 cm).

c. Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting posts

to ensure that it is 17.75 inches (45.09 cm) wide. The chassis is 17.00 inches (43.2 cm) wide and

must fit between the mounting posts.

d. Open the accessories box and refer to the component checklist to verify that all parts are

included, as described in “Unpacking”.

Note: Some equipment racks have a power strip along the length of one of the rear posts. If the rack

has this feature, consider the position of the strip when planning fastener points.

Step 2. Install the chassis in the rack as follows:

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

b. Secure the chassis using either four 10-32 x 5/8 screws or four 12-24 x 5/8 screws (two per

side) through the elongated holes in the L-bracket and into the threaded holes in the

mounting post (

Figure 2-12).
