SmartNode Installation
10.17 Desktop Installation
The SmartNode can be placed on a desktop, shelf or other flat, hard and secure surface. Before
placing the SmartNode attach one of the rubber pads included on an adhesive strip in each corner on
the bottom of the SmartNode.
SmartNodes should be placed in a dry environment with sufficient space to allow air circulation for
cooling. Leave at least 5 cm to the left, right, front and rear of the equipment. Multiple SmartNodes
can be stacked on top of each other.
10.18 Rack-Mounting for SmartNode 2000 Series
The SN2x00 requires AC power 100 - 240V, 50/60Hz. Its power dissipation is 10W. The SN2400
alternatively offers a 48V (or 38V) DC power input.
It should be installed in an open rack wherever possible. If cabinet installation is unavoidable then
ensure that the cabinet has adequate ventilation. SN2400 comes with a fan mounted in the right front
corner in order to improve air circulation within the device.
Note:
To prevent overheating we recommend that the SN2x00 is not installed in a closed rack or in a
room that is not properly ventilated or air-conditioned.
Warning:
Review the safety guidelines that are given in this document. Provide proper grounding to
avoid damage from lightning or power surges. The SN2x00 is grounded via the mains and there is a
ground connection between the mains connector, the chassis and the rack mounting brackets.
Install the rack mount brackets before you install the SN2x00 in the rack. When installing multiple
SN2x00s in one rack you are recommended to leave one height unit (2.54 cm/1 inch) between two
devices. Two rack mounting brackets and eight screws for attaching the brackets to the chassis are
provided. The screws for installing the chassis in a rack are not included.
To mount a SN2x00 in a 19’’ rack, you will need two angled mounting brackets. A bracket is shown
in Figure 10-9. It is symmetrically designed so you can have the 1.5 cm flange facing to the front or to
the rear. There are four holes for countersunk screws on the long side of the bracket.
Figure 10-9: SmartNode 2000 Series Rack Mounting Bracket
One bracket is attached to each side of the SN2x00 with the four self-tapping screws provided. There
are three mounting positions for the brackets, so choose the one that best suits your requirements. In
Figure 10-10 you can see the four mounting holes (shown as black disks) and the three available
positions. The flange can face to either the front or rear, as mentioned above.
