Center-Mount 2-Post Chassis Installation
The following sections explain how to center mount your Acme Packet 4900 into a 2-post equipment rack.
Installing the Center-Mount Hardware
Center-mounting flanges are attached to each side of the Acme Packet 4900. These mounting flanges are reversible, and are not mated to a specific side of the chassis. While the Acme Packet 4900 is shipped with all mounting hardware for attaching the rack flanges to the chassis, you must obtain and use the appropriate hardware recommended by the equipment rack manufacturer for mounting the system in the rack.
To install your Acme Packet 4900 in a center-mount configuration:- Line up one chassis flange with the three tapped holes found along the center
of the side of the Acme Packet 4900 chassis. The three
screw holes of the chassis flange will only align in one direction.
- Using a Phillips head screwdriver, tighten the three #6-32 x 1/4”
flat head screws to secure the flange to the chassis.
Installing the Chassis in the Rack
The Acme Packet 4900 chassis is now ready to
be installed into a 2-post equipment rack. To prevent personal injury or damage to
the Acme Packet 4900 follow these guidelines:
- This installation requires two people and should not be attempted otherwise.
- Follow your organization’s best practices for lifting and installing heavy components into an equipment rack.
- Ensure that the Acme Packet 4900 chassis remains supported until you have completely installed it into the equipment rack.
- Locate the following components: Equipment rack screws (4)
- Lift the Acme Packet 4900 into the correct position in the equipment rack.
- Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure two screws through the mounting flanges on the Acme Packet 4900 and into the equipment rack. One person should hold the Acme Packet 4900 in the correct position while the other person screws the Acme Packet 4900 in place.
- Ensure that the Acme Packet 4900 chassis remains supported until you have completely installed it into the equipment rack.
