Installing the Chassis
The Cisco Remote PHY Shelf 7200 can be either mounted on the rack at the front or in the middle. Also, the router can be either mounted on a standard 19-inch wide four-post equipment rack unit or a two-post rack unit.
Note |
The Cisco Remote PHY Shelf 7200 fully configured system can weigh up to 271 lbs, components must be removed from the chassis to make the chassis lighter for rack installation. Remove all front power modules and front RPD cards for rack mounting to reduce the weight. The PIC cards and Fan Tray can remain in the system during rack mounting. For instructions on how to remove the components, see the monitoring sections. Make sure that you place the cards and modules in an anti-static bag until you install the chassis in the rack. Proceed with the installation if you have already unpacked your chassis and read all the site requirements for your new equipment. Required Tools and Equipment

Verifying Rack Dimensions
Before you install the chassis, measure the space between the vertical mounting flanges (rails) on your equipment rack to verify that the rack conforms to the measurements shown in the following figure.
Procedure
Step 1 |
Mark and measure the distance between two holes on the left and right mounting rails. The distance should measure 18.31 inches ± 0.06 inches (46.5 cm ± 0.15 cm).
|
||
Step 2 |
Measure the space between the inner edges of the left front and right front mounting flanges on the equipment rack. The space must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm) to accommodate the chassis. |
Installing the Chassis Installation Brackets
Each chassis is shipped with two chassis installation brackets in the accessory kit. These brackets aid in installing a chassis into a 19-inch rack. These brackets are used as a support base to vertically position and set the chassis before installing the rack mount screws.
Procedure
Step 1 |
Determine the position in the rack where you want to mount the chassis. If you are mounting more than one chassis in the rack, start from the bottom or the center of the rack. Hold the chassis installation bracket, where the bottom of the chassis will be positioned vertically in the rack. |
||||
Step 2 |
Secure the chassis installation bracket to the front rails with rack-mount screws. If a second internal rack rail is present which is not more than 23 inches from the front rail, position the second installation bracket to create a rear support for the chassis during installation.
|
Attaching the Chassis Rack-Mount Brackets
The chassis is shipped with the rack mount brackets pre-installed in the front position. The rack mount brackets can be removed and reversed in the mid-mounting location on the chassis.
Note |
After you install the chassis in the rack, the rear RF cable-management brackets can be installed on the chassis. |
Attach the rack-mounting brackets either in the front or the middle of the chassis.
