Installation Checklist
A rack-mount kit is included in the shipping container. The rack-mount brackets in the kit are for
mounting the Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch in a standard, 19-in.-wide, 4-post equipment rack.
Note The rack-mount brackets are not suitable for use with other racks, such as 23-in. telco racks.
If you are installing an equipment shelf or using mounting hardware other than that supplied with the
chassis, review the guidelines in the “Equipment Racks” section on page 2-8.
If you do not plan to install your Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch in an equipment rack, proceed to the
“Installing the Cisco uBR 3x10 RF Switch on a Workbench or Tabletop Environment” section on
page 3-13.
To assist you with your installation and provide a historical record of what was done, and by whom, use

procedure or verification is completed.
