How to Install in a 19" Industrial Rack
Before installing the OpenScape Branch 550 / 550HA in a 19" industrial rack, observe
the instructions in 1.5.1 General Safety.
Install only in a stable 19" industrial rack cabinet. To improve stability:
Place system from the bottom up
Place heavy systems lower down
Bolt the cabinet to the floor or anchor the cabinet to the wall
To support the OpenScape Branch 550’s weight, two separate fixation
methods must be used:
Front handle brackets (left side, right side)
Slide rails or L brackets or a 19” rack
rear/side fixation
Ensure Sufficient Airflow
Ensure that the 19” Industrial rack cabinet is well ventilated and does not prevent the
OpenScape Branch 550 from taking in air at the front and exhausting air at the rear.
Installing the OpenScape Branch 550 / 550HA alone can result in
product damage or personal injury.
NOTE: Slide Rails are NOT included in the product delivery and can be ordered as a
separate option.
To install in a 19” industrial rack, proceed as follow
s:
Install the slide rails according to the installation and safety instructions included in
the Rack Slide Rails Kit.
Install the corresponding slide kits to the 19” industrial rack cabinet.
Push the OpenScape Branch 550 / 550HA with slide rail assembly as far as possible
into the corresponding installed rack slide rail.
Firmly attach the handle brackets to the sides of the 19” industrial rack cabinet.
Verify that the OpenScape Branch 550 / 550HA is securely mounted.
