Rack and Cabinet Requirements
• Standard open four-post Telco racks
Work with your cabinet vendors to determine which of their cabinets meet the following requirements or see
the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for recommendations:
• Use a standard 19-inch (48.3-cm), four-post Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) cabinet or rack with
mounting rails that conform to English universal hole spacing per section 1 of the ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992
standard.
• The depth of a four-post rack must be 24 to 32 inches (61.0 to 81.3 cm) between the front and rear
mounting rails (for proper mounting of the bottom-support brackets or other mounting hardware).
Also, you must have power receptacles that are located within reach of the power cords that are used with the
switch.
Warning
Statement 1048 Rack Stabilization
The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before installation
or servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause bodily injury.
