Table 26: Rack Requirements and Specifications for the ACX500 Indoor Router
(Continued)
Rack Requirement
Guidelines
Rack size and
strength
•
Ensure that the rack complies with this standard:
•
A 19-in. (48.3 cm) rack as defined in
Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated
Equipment
(document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronics Industry
Association (
).
•
Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the router chassis'
external dimensions. The outer edges of the front-mounting brackets extend the width
of the chassis to 19.2 in. (48.7 cm).
•
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the router.
•
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper clearance
around the router and rack.
Rack connection
to building
structure
•
Secure the rack to the building structure.
•
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.
•
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as to the wall or floor brackets for
maximum stability.
One pair of mounting brackets for mounting the router on two posts of a rack is supplied with each
router. For mounting the router on four posts of a rack or cabinet, you can order a four-post rack
mounting kit separately.
