Mounting BreakingPoint 20 into an Equipment Rack
The following instructions describe how to mount BreakingPoint 20 into a standard 19-inch equipment
rack. If you require additional information for any other type of rack, see 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 BreakingPoint 20 into an equipment
rack before installing the blade(s). Additionally, to avoid injury or damaging the chassis, we
recommend you to use three people to mount the chassis.
Guidelines to Keep in Mind
Before you mount the chassis to the equipment rack, ensure that the operating environment meets the
criteria listed in the Site and Safety Regulations section.
Generally, this includes the following:
l
Mounting the chassis in an area where air can properly circulate (at least three inches of
clearance around all ventilation openings).
l
Ensuring that the chassis has at least three feet of clearance in the rear so you can easily access
the computer’s power switch and inlet.
l
Engaging the rack’s stabilizers to keep it stable before mounting the chassis to the rack.
l
Placing the chassis in a dry and dust-free area.
