The NetVanta is a 1U-high, rack-mountable unit that can be installed in a 19-inch equipment rack.
The following steps guide you in mounting the NetVanta into a rack.
• Desk or shelf mounting of the equipment should be such that the amount of air
flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Allow 1-
inch clearance on the top and sides of the unit for sufficient air flow.
• Le montage de l’équipement sur le bureau ou sur l’étagère doit être tel que la
quantité d’air le débit nécessaire au bon fonctionnement de l’équipement n’est
pas compromis. Autoriser 1 pouce l’autorisation sur le dessus et les côtés de
l’appareil pour un débit d’air suffisant.

• If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient
temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature specified by the manufacturer.
• Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Be careful not to compromise the stability of the equipment mounting rack when
installing this product.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading the circuit might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
