This section gives you information about front mounting or mid-mounting
the chassis in a 19-inch rack. The chassis ships with the mounting bracket
in the front mount position. To change to a mid-mount configuration:
1. Remove the four Phillips head screws (8-32 x 1/4) securing each
bracket to the side of the chassis.
2. Move the brackets to the mid-mount position.
3. Reinstall the four Phillips head screws for each bracket.
Do not mount the chassis at the top of the rack. A top-heavy
rack can tip, causing damage to equipment and injury to
personnel.
Refer to the following section on "Grounding the CPX2000 Series
Chassis," for grounding information before installing the chassis.
Two people should perform the following steps to avoid
personal injury or damage to the equipment.
1. Slide the chassis into the front of the rack.
2. Attach with eight, 10-32 x 1/2 Phillips head screws.
When installing the system in a particular environment, keep the
environmental specifications of the system components in mind. For
example, floppy and hard disk drives typically do not operate reliably
above 50º C (122º F) ambient temperature. In an enclosed environment
you need to consider the internal temperature rise over the worst case
external ambient temperature.
