Rack-Mounting the Cisco RPS
Cisco Redundant Power System Hardware Installation Guide
•
Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air, which also helps to draw cooling air
through the chassis. The best placement of the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in
the rack, which can be found by experimenting with different configurations.
•
When equipment installed in a rack (particularly in an enclosed rack) fails, try operating
the equipment by itself, if possible. Power off other equipment in the rack and in
adjacent racks to allow the unit under test a maximum of cooling air and clean power.
•
Install the Cisco RPS and the external device to which it will connect in adjacent shelves
in a rack.
