Rack-Mounting GigaVUE TA Series 47
Two-Post Rack Methods:
Most GigaVUE Traffic Aggregation nodes can either be front mounted or rear mounted
using the rack ears as shown below. GigaVUE-TA200 can only be front mounted.
Figure 3-1: GigaVUE Traffic Aggregator Rack Ears in Front-Mount Position
To mount the GigaVUE Traffic Aggregation node in a rack:
1.
Attach the orange rack ears to the front or rear of the unit (rear mounting does not
apply to GigaVUE-TA200) using the supplied screws.
As shown in Figure 3-1 , the rack ears can be attached for a front-mount or
rear-mount installation. Select the installation that best fits the needs. For example,
one position may provide better clearance for rack doors at the front of the chassis.
2.
While one person supports the weight of the unit with the rack ears flush to the
chassis, a second person can attach the ears to the rack with the supplied screws.
Front-Mounting Rack Ears
In this picture, the rack ears are attached
facing towards the front of the chassis.
Rear-Mounting Rack Ear Position
You can also attach the rack ears at the rear
of the unit for a rear-mount installation.
Does not apply to GigaVUE-TA200.
