Installation
Introduction
Installation procedures are similar for all frames covered within this manual. Exceptions, if any,
have been noted in each of the following paragraphs.
Rack Mounting
Carefully inspect the frame to ensure that there has been no shipping damage. Make sure all
shipping material is removed from the router frame.
Each of the routing switchers described in this manual can be rack mounted in a standard 19"
(1RU) EIA rack assembly and includes rack "ears" at the ends of the front of the frames. None of
the switcher models require spacing above or below the unit for ventilation. To rack mount any of
the routing switchers, simply place the unit's rack ears against the rack rails of the rack, and
insert proper rack screws through each of the holes in the rack ears. Always rack mount the
routing switcher prior to plugging the unit into a power receptacle or attaching any cables.
Important;
Rear mounting brackets must be installed prior to installation of the router into a
rack. The rear mounting brackets are contained in the accessory kit supplied with your router.
CAUTION!
The operating temperature range of the Viper series router is 0 to 40 ° C. Do not exceed the maximum (40
°
C) or minimum (0
°
C) operating temperature.
Rear mounting brackets must be installed prior to installation of the router into a rack. The rear mounting
brackets are contained in the accessory kit supplied with your router.
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated
ambient temperature (TMRA).
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
