Installation Process

Step 1: Installing the L-Shaped Brackets into the OCP Rack

    1. Define the height: Select the desired OU height within the 21" OCP rack.

    2. Mount the Brackets: Align the brackets with the rack's pre-punched holes.

    3. Engagement: Angle the rail in to seat the hooks into the corresponding locations. Make sure that the latch side of the brackets faces the rear of the rack.

    4. Verification: Confirm that the latches are fully engaged and there is no interference with other rack parts.

Step 3: Mount the Adapter Tray into the OCP Rack

    1. Select the RU position

      • Choose the 2U window (e.g, RU 20-21) where the switch system will be located, and confirm that the L‑shape support brackets (or shelf rails) are installed at that height.

    2. Placement: Rest the bottom flanges of the adapter tray onto the two L-shaped support brackets previously installed in the rack.

    3. Securing: Slide the tray along the brackets until it latches securely into position.

Final Checks: 

      • Ensure that the tray is correctly seated and does not obstruct doors or busbars.

      • Verify the tray's rear extenders are properly inserted into the rear flanges of the L-shaped brackets on both sides.
