Cisco NCS 4216 Door figure.
Note
Installing the Chassis Brackets
The chassis is shipped with mounting brackets that can be installed on the front or rear of the chassis. To
install the brackets on the front of the chassis, perform these steps:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Remove the rack-mount brackets from the accessory kit and position them beside the router chassis.
2. Position one of the brackets against the chassis side, and align the screw holes.
3. Secure the bracket to the chassis with the screws removed when performing Step 1 . The recommended
maximum torque is 28 in.-lb (3.16 N-m).
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Remove the rack-mount brackets from the accessory kit and position them beside the router chassis.

Step 2 Position one of the brackets against the chassis side, and align the screw holes.
Step 3 Secure the bracket to the chassis with the screws removed when performing Step 1 . The recommended maximum torque
is 28 in.-lb (3.16 N-m).
The A907-FAN-E fan tray with filter (A907-FAN-F) cannot be mounted using the mounting screws that are supported
for fan tray. This is not an issue with the FAN tray filter blank panel (A907-FAN-F-B). We recommend that you use the
short screws provided in the following rack mount kits to avoid interference of the air filter during rack mounting and
while replacing the fan tray with the fan tray filter (A907-FAN-E):

What to Do Next
Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for the other bracket.
Installing the Air Plenum (A907-F2B-AIR) in the Rack
This procedure installs the air plenum to orient the air flow in front-to- back direction in the NCS 4216 router.
Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit.
Statement 1074
Warning
This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during normal
use. Statement 39
Warning
For nominal voltage of -60 VDC, the input voltage range is from -40 to -72 VDC.Note
Use only the fastening hardware provided with the NCS 4216 to prevent loosening, deterioration, and
electromechanical corrosion of the hardware and joined material.
Note
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected
last. Statement 1046
Warning
The Air Plenum is installed on a rack or a cabinet using thread-forming screws that remove any paint or
non-conductive coatings inside the hole threads, and establish a metal-to-metal contact. Also, clean both
surfaces outside the screw points that come in contact, so that they are free of paint and other nonconductive
coating. Apply an appropriate antioxidant compound to the surfaces.

Installing Air Plenum in NCS 4216 Shelf for ANSI 23-inch Configuration
To install the Air Plenum in NCS 4216 Shelf for ANSI 23-inch configuration, follow the steps below:
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Install the ANSI 23-inch adapter plates on the horizontal air plenums.
2. Align the screws to fix the adapter plates to the shelf. Insert the screws and tighten them to a torque value
of 11.5 in-lb (1.3 N-m).
3. Place a horizontal air plenum as the base.
4. Install the vertical air plenum to the left of the bottom horizontal plenum.
5. Install the wing head screws from the internal side of the horizontal plenum and tighten the screws to a
torque value of 11.5 in-lb (1.3 N-m).
6. Install the vertical air plenum to the right of the horizontal air plenum. Follow step 5.
7. Install the horizontal air plenum above the vertical air plenums. Follow step 5.
8. Install the pre-assembled air plenum for ANSI 23-inch configuration.
9. Install the pre-assembled air plenums in the ANSI 23-inch rack or cabinet.
10. Check the length between the top and bottom horizontal air plenums where the chassis will be installed.
The length must be not less than 10.5 inches (267 mm). If the length is less, adjust the position of the top
horizontal plenum.
11. Install the empty NCS 4216 chassis between the horizontal plenums.

Installing the Router Chassis in the Rack

SUMMARY STEPS
1. Position the chassis in the rack as follows:
2. Align the mounting holes in the bracket (and optional cable guide) with the mounting holes in the equipment
rack.
3. Install the 8 or 12 (4 or 6 per side) rack mount screws through the holes in the bracket and into the threaded
holes in the equipment rack posts.
4. Use a tape measure and level to verify that the chassis is installed straight and level.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 Position the chassis in the rack as follows:
•If the front of the chassis (front panel) is at the front of the rack, insert the rear of the chassis between the mounting
posts.
•If the rear of the chassis is at the front of the rack, insert the front of the chassis between the mounting posts.
Step 2 Align the mounting holes in the bracket (and optional cable guide) with the mounting holes in the equipment rack.
Do not use interface module and power supply ejector handles to lift the chassis; using the handles to lift the
chassis can deform or damage the handles.
Caution
Step 3 Install the 8 or 12 (4 or 6 per side) rack mount screws through the holes in the bracket and into the threaded holes in the
equipment rack posts.
Step 4 Use a tape measure and level to verify that the chassis is installed straight and level.
