24 Installing the AC Chassis
Installing the Equipment Rack Shelf Bar
The rack shelf bar ( Figure 5 ) enables you to easily position the chassis into the rack and provides the unit
additional stability. The E1200i AC system must be mounted in a rack that is permanently secured to the
floor.

To install a equipment rack shelf bar:
Standard Front Chassis Mounting
Install the E1200i AC system after you secure the equipment rack shelf bar. Load the chassis in the lower
half of an empty rack to avoid a top-heavy rack (
Figure 6 ).
Step Task
1. Determine the chassis mounting location in the equipment rack.
2. Orient the bar with the arrows pointing upward. The smooth side of the bar should face outward.
3. Attach the bar to the equipment rack brackets using the mounting screws provided by the
manufacturer.
Note: Force10 Networks recommends that you install and operate the E1200i AC system in a
standard 19-inch or 23-inch equipment rack.
Warning: Do not remove the Front shipping Cover during the initial installation process. The cover
provides front handles to assist in lifting and prevents damage to the internal framework and EMI
seals.
