Mounting the Evolution X5 Satellite Router
4.4 Mounting the Evolution X5 Satellite Router
The chassis can be placed on a tabletop or flush mounted on a 19-inch rack with a two rack
unit opening. This section provides details on how to accomplish the installation.
Note: The Evolution X5 Satellite Router is designed for indoor use only.
4.4.1 General Guidelines for Mounting Configurations
When installing the IDU, follow these guidelines:
•
When selecting the site, consider accessibility, availability of power, signal, network cable
connections, and the possibility of future expansion.
• Install the IDU chassis in a location where access is unobstructed. Plan for access to both
the front and rear of the IDU chassis.
• Ensure that the room where the IDU operates has adequate ventilation.
• Ambient air temperature may not cool the IDU chassis to acceptable operating
temperatures without adequate ventilation. The ambient temperatures and other
environmental specifications are listed in
Chapter 3, "Specifications" on page 9 .
• Select a suitable IDU installation location away from any area that tends to collect dust.
• Do not install the IDU chassis on the floor.
4.4.2 Guidelines for Desktop or Shelf Mounting
If the IDU chassis is mounted in an enclosed shelf, ensure that the shelf has adequate
ventilation. An enclosed shelf should have openings on the sides and top to provide air
circulation.
4.5 Guidelines for Rack Mounting
The IDU requires a minimum of two rack units (3.5 inches) of vertical rack space. You should
measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis. If the IDU chassis is mounted
in an enclosed rack, ensure that the rack has adequate ventilation. An enclosed rack should
have louvered sides and top with fans to provide cooling air. Before using a particular rack,
check for obstructions, such as a power strip, that could impair rack-mount installation.
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing the IDU chassis in a
rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the rack remains
mechanically stable. iDirect recommends that the equipment rack be
firmly secured to the foundation/floor and secured to the adjacent rack.
