Mounting the BreakingPoint 20 into an Equipment Rack
The following instructions will describe how to mount the BreakingPoint 20 into a standard 19-
inch equipment rack; if you require additional information for any other type of rack, you should
refer to your rack vendor’s documentation.
A rack unit (RU) is an industry-standard measurement for rack-mountable equipment. Each rack
unit is equal to 1.75 inches and is comprised of three mounting holes. If you look at the rack’s
mounting rails, you will notice small markers that indicate each rack unit. For the BreakingPoint 20
chassis, you will need 4 RU of rackspace.
Typically, you will need to count mounting holes upward, from the first mounting hole in the range
of rack units needed to install the chassis.
Note: For safety purposes, we recommend that you mount the BreakingPoint 20 into an equipment
rack before installing the blade(s). Additionally, to avoid injury or damaging the chassis,
three people are recommended to mount the chassis.
Guidelines to Keep in Mind
Before you mount the chassis to the equipment rack, please make sure that the operating
environment meets the criteria listed in the Site and Safety Regulations section.
Generally, this includes:
• Mounting the chassis in an area where air can properly circulate (at least 3 inches of clearance
around all ventilation openings)
• Ensuring that the chassis has at least 3 feet of clearance in the rear so you can easily access the
system’s power switch and inlet
• Engaging the rack’s stabilizers to keep it stable before mounting the chassis to the rack
• Placing the chassis in a dry and dust-free area
• Loading the equipment rack from the bottom up
