Table 3-9 lists the connections for the traffic cards and operations ports.
Select the Rack
You can mount the SmartEdge 1200 chassis in a standard 19- or 23-inch rack.
The SmartEdge 1200s chassis requires 11 RUs (an RU is 1.75 inches [4.50 cm]); the SmartEdge 1200n
chassis requires 13 RUs. The air ramp at the bottom of the rack requires 2 RUs; a stand-alone external fuse
panel requires 1 RU.
