We recommend that you allow about 4 inches (100 mm) of space from the
front panel of the unit to the rack front or rack door. This provides enough
room to route the cables without bending them excessively.
WARNING
This product is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). We recommend
that when handling the unit, use proper ESD grounding procedures and
equipment.
Installing the WANJet 500 hardware
To use the standard front mount to hold the WANJet 500 unit, follow the
procedure in this section.
You may need a shelf or similar device to support the unit if a single person
is installing the unit. To prevent personal injury or damage to the unit, we
recommend having at least two people to perform the installation.
You can also install the unit onto any flat surface without having to install it
into a rack. In that case, continue on to
Powering up the WANJet 500
platform , on page 2-5.
To install the unit into a standard-mount rack
1. Attach the rack-mount ears to the unit, using four black screws per
ear.
2. If desired, attach the handles to the rack-mount ears using the
provided screws.
3. Lift the unit into place.
4. Secure the unit using the four rack-mounting screws that are
provided.
You need to tighten the screws to secure the unit to the rack to
provide adequate stability and to prevent the unit from falling out of
the rack. Securing the unit to the rack with the screws also provides
adequate grounding.
If the rack does not provide adequate support for the unit, you may need a
shelf kit. We recommend that you use the shelf kit created by the rack
manufacturer. (Some rack manufacturers provide shelf kits for their racks.)
