Installing a CE-511 or CE-566 Unit
Place the unit in the desired location. You can mount it in a rack for your
convenience, or place it on a solid, stable surface. If you do not plan to install the
unit in an equipment rack, proceed to the “Installing the Chassis on a Tabletop”
section on page 3-11.
Racks are marked in vertical increments of 1.75 inches (4.44 cm). Each increment
is referred to as a rack unit (RU). A 1-RU device is 1.75 inches (4.44 cm) tall.
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you
must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The
following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the
top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting
or servicing the unit in the rack.
