Chapter 6  

 

Rack Installation

This chapter provides instructions and tips for installing the chassis into a rack.

6-1  Preparing for Setup

Please read this section in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.

Choosing a Setup Location

Decide on a suitable location for the rack. It should be a clean, dust-free area that is 

well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields 

are generated. Place it near a grounded power outlet. 

• 

Leave at least 25 inches clearance in front of the rack to open the front door 
completely.

• 

Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow 

for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

• 

Install in a restricted access location, such as a dedicated equipment room or 
service closet.

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera-
ture of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the 
room. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s 
maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).

• 

This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated 
equipment rooms, service closets and similar environments).

Adequate Airflow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required 

for safe operation is not compromised.
