Installing the Chassis
Mount the empty chassis in the equipment rack, using flat or round head screws
and washers in the four front panel corner mounting locations. This enables a
secure mount of the unit on the chassis. You must use screws matching your rack.
Chassis Location in Rack
The chassis can be placed anywhere within the rack. Hot air discharged from
other equipment must not be directed at the chassis front panel. Dust from the
surrounding environment should not be ingested in the input airflow. The chassis
can be mounted without any gap, directly above or below another chassis or
other equipment that does not discharge hot air directly at the front panel of the
chassis.
Operating Temperature
Make sure the unit is operated in a temperature and humidity-controlled
environment. See the temperature specifications in the datasheet.
Note:
The maximum operating ambient temperature is 50°C (122°F).
Long-term reliability is best obtained with consistently cool environments. Never
place a unit near a heat source. Do not install a unit in areas of high humidity or
where there is any chance of water or condensation dripping into or on the unit.
Verify Rack Dimensions
It is important to verify the rack dimensions to guarantee proper installation of
the chassis. The minimum Telco rack dimensions needed for installation are as
follows.
•
The chassis weighs 6. 6 kg and can be installed into a 19-in. rack. The maximum
width of the chassis is 481 mm, and the width without mounting ears is 437
mm.
