CHAPTER 4 Mounting the Device
Mediant 800 Gateway & E-SBC | Hardware Installation Manual
Rack Mount Safety Instructions:
When installing the chassis in a rack, implement the
following safety instructions:
●
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: 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 with maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) of 40°C (104°F).
●
Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not compromised.
●
Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
●
Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
●
Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing 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). For earthing the
device, see
Grounding and Surge Protection
Using a Pre-Installed Rack Shelf
The procedure below describes how to place the device on a pre-installed shelf in a 19-inch rack.
➢
To mount the device on a pre-installed shelf in the rack:
1.
Before installing it in the rack, ensure that you have a pre-installed rack shelf on which the
device can be placed.
2.
Place the device on the pre-installed shelf in the rack.
Using Mounting Brackets
The procedure below describes how to mount the device in a 19-inch rack. Rack mounting involves
placing the device on a pre-installed rack shelf (not supplied) and then securing the device to the
rack frame using mounting brackets (supplied).

Mounting Brackets
➢
To mount the device in a 19-inch rack using mounting brackets:
1.
Attach the two mounting brackets (supplied) to each side of the device's chassis, using the
supplied screws, as shown in the following figure:
