Rack-Mounting GigaVUE TA Series
This chapter describes how to unpack and rack-mount the GigaVUE Traffic
Aggregation nodes. Refer to the following sections for details:
• Unpacking the GigaVUE Traffic Aggregator on page 45
• Rack-Mounting the GigaVUE TA Series on page 46
Unpacking the GigaVUE Traffic Aggregator
Unpack the GigaVUE Traffic Aggregator and inspect the box it was shipped
in. If the carton was damaged, please file a claim with the carrier who
delivered it.
Remove the protective shipping covers and screws. Save the protective
shipping covers and replace the screws in the holes on the system so that
they are easily saved in case you need to ship the system again.
Next, select a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the GigaVUE
Traffic Aggregation node. Choose a location that is clean, dust free, and well
ventilated. You will need access to a grounded power outlet. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical wire, and electromagnetic fields are generated.
Plan for enough clearance in front of a rack so you can open the front door
completely (approximately 25in) and enough clearance in the back of the rack
to allow sufficient airflow.
