The following sections tell how to install ION-E WCS and e-POI subracks and the PSU in an equipment rack.
Rack-Mounting the Subracks and PSU
The following graphic shows two configurations for mounting ION-E subracks and PSUs in an equipment
rack. In any ION-E installation, the following rules must be followed:
•
PSUs must be mounted above the WCS for support.
•
1 RU of air space required above the PSU.
•
Support rails are required for WCS Subracks.
•
Support rails are required for e-POI Subracks.
•
Support rails must not block airflow.
As with any piece of IT equipment, placing the ION-E system connection behind a secure firewall is highly
recommended
Disconnect all input to the PSU before adding it to or removing it from an equipment rack.
