Installing the Chassis Ears and Slides

In this second portion of system installation, two chassis ears and two chassis slides are secured to the Acme Packet 6300/6350.

To install the chassis slide rails on the Acme Packet 6300/6350:

  1. Locate the following components:
    • 6 x 10-32 x 5/16” flat head (black) screws

    • 2 x front mounting ears (left and right)

    • 6 x 6-32 x 5/16” screws

    • 2 x chassis slides

  2. Line up one chassis ear with the tapped holes as shown in the following image. Position the chassis ear’s spring-loaded thumbscrew toward the front panel of the system.
