Choosing a mounting location
Mounting the physical SVP appropriately in the rack is critical to ensure optimum
performance.
Procedure
1. Install the physical SVP in the top bay of the rack or as close to the top bay as
possible.
2. Leave approximately 25 inches in front of the rack to enable you to open the front
bezel.
3. Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
Installing the inner rail extension
The physical SVP contains two rack rail assemblies. Each assembly consists of an inner
fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the SVP chassis, and an outer fixed rack rail that
secures directly to the rack itself.
The physical SVP includes chassis ears that you must remove before installing the rails.
Procedure
1. Remove the chassis ears.
a. Locate and remove the three screws holding the chassis ear in place.
b. Repeat with the other chassis ear.
