Installing the Flange-Mounted Chassis

The following procedure describes how to install the flange-mounted Acme Packet 1100 to each side of the chassis into a 2- or 4-post chassis rack.

The flange mounts should be attached to the Acme Packet 1100 as described in the previous procedure.
To prevent overheating, ensure that there is enough room for appropriate airflow on either side of the chassis and that there is adequate ventilation in the room in which the chassis is being installed.
Ensure that there is enough room to access the front and back panel of the chassis for purposes of reviewing front/back panel LEDs and inserting/removing cables from the back panel.
Screws/washers (customer-supplied) for attachment to the equipment rack.
To install a flange-mounted Acme Packet 1100 into a 2- or 4-post rack:

Align the holes in each of the rack mount flanges with the appropriate holes in the chassis rack, and then support the rack in place.
Attach the flange-mounted Acme Packet 1100 chassis to the rack by inserting a screw and washer (customer-supplied) into each of the 2 holes on one side of the flange mount. Then use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten and secure each screw.

Note:
Rack screws are customer supplied.
Holding the unsecured end of the chassis in place with one hand, use your other hand to attach the flange-mounted Acme Packet 1100 chassis to the rack by inserting a 10-32 x 3/8” screw and washer into each of the 2 holes on that side of the rack mount flange. Then use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten and secure each screw.
Ensure that all screws are secure and that the Acme Packet 1100 chassis is securely in place in the chassis.
