Determine Rack Location
Decide on a location in the rack for CC-SG, in a clean, dust-free, well- ventilated area. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields are generated and place them near a grounded power outlet.

Rack-mount CC-SG

Identify Rail Sections

Your rack mount kit contains two rack rail assemblies. Each assembly has two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail (A) that secures to the unit and an outer fixed rack rail (B) that secures to the rail brackets. A sliding rail guide sandwiched between the two should remain attached to the outer fixed rack rail. The A and B rails must be detached from each other for installation. To remove the inner fixed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible until you hear a clicking sound when a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner rail. Depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do this for both rack rail assemblies.
Install the Chassis Rails

  1. Position the inner fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along one side of the chassis; ensure the five screw holes line up.
  2. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. Attach rail brackets if installed into a Telco rack.

Install Rack Rails

  1. Position the outer fixed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide
    facing the inside of the rack.

  2. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided.

  3. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are at the exact same height and with the rail
    guides facing inward. Ideally, two people should work on this together.

Install CC-SG into the Rack
Once the rails are attached to both the chassis and the rack, install CC-SG into the rack.

  1. Line up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
  2. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides. You may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting. You should hear the locking tabs click when the unit is completely pushed in.

Locking Tabs
Both chassis rails have a locking tab that serves two functions:

  • To lock CC-SG into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack (normal operating position).
  • To lock CC-SG in place when extended from the rack, preventing the unit from falling out of the rack when pulled out for servicing.

Connect Cables

Once the CC-SG unit is installed into the rack, you can connect cables. See the diagrams on page 1.
1. Connect the CAT 5 network LAN cable to the LAN 1 port on the rear panel of the CC-SG unit. Connect the CAT 5 cable to the network.
Optional: Connect a second CAT 5 network LAN cable to the LAN 2 port.
2. Attach the included AC power cord to the power port on the rear panel of the CC-SG unit. Plug into an AC power outlet.
3. Connect KVM cables to the corresponding ports on the rear panel of the CC- SG unit.

Log in to Local Console to Set CC-SG IP Address

  1. Power ON CC-SG by pressing the POWER button on the front of the CC-SG unit.

  2. Attach the front bezel by snapping it onto the front of the CC-SG unit.

  3. Log in as admin/Raritan. Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

  4. You will be prompted to change the local console password.
