How to install RACKMOUNT.IT Cisrack RM-CI-T12 Rack Shelf

• Step 1 — Prepare the workspace: Begin by clearing the installation area and inspecting your 19" rack. Confirm there is adequate depth and clearance for the RM-CI-T12 shelf and the Cisco desktop appliances you plan to mount.

Use the appropriate screws and washers recommended for your rack kit to secure the shelf firmly to the rails. Tighten evenly to avoid any tilt or wobble that could affect device alignment or airflow.
• Step 3 — Secure the shelf into the rack: With the rails prepared, slide the RM-CI-T12 into position and fasten it at the intended height. Verify that the shelf is level and fully seated, with no play in the mounting points. A stable base is essential for safe installation of Cisco devices and stable cable routing.
• Step 4 — Install Cisco desktop appliances: Place each Cisco desktop appliance onto the shelf, aligning mounting points with the shelf’s pre-drilled ears or rails. Attach devices securely using the provided hardware or the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring a firm grip that can withstand routine access without shifting.
• Step 5 — route cables and finalize configuration: Neatly route power and network cables along the front or sides of the shelf to minimize obstruction and maximize airflow.
