Rack-Mounting a Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM
The Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM can be installed in either front-mount or mid-mount configurations. The
chassis rack-mounting flanges must be secured directly to the chassis before lifting it into the rack.
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
Step 1
Mark and measure the distance between the 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).
Note
Measure the pairs of holes near the bottom, middle and top of the equipment rack to ensure that the rack
posts are parallel.
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, which is 17.25 inches
(43.8 cm) wide and fits between the mounting posts on the rack.

Install and use the cable-management brackets included with the Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM to keep
the cables organized and out of the way of the cards and processors. Ensure that the cables from the
other equipment already installed in the rack do not impair access to the cards or require you to
disconnect cables unnecessarily to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.
Install rack stabilizers (if available) before you mount the chassis.
Provide an adequate chassis ground (earth) connection for your Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM chassis.
