Installing Tiger Box
Before installing Tiger Box in a rack or on a table top, consider the limitations for
maximum cable lengths, when deciding on the location of the appliance within your
facility. Also check the appliance's technical characteristics to make sure that the
rack/the table meets the physical, electrical, and thermal specifications.
Rack-mounting Tiger Box
You can mount Tiger Box in a standard, 19-inch-wide, four-post rack.
A rack-mount rails kit is included in your shipping. If you are installing Tiger Box in a
rack, follow the instructions supplied in the rack-mount rails kit to install the
appliance.
Tip:
Install the heaviest devices in the lowest position in the rack.

If you do not plan to install your Tiger Box in a rack, and you opt for tabletop
installation, ensure that:
•
the surface is clean and in a safe location;
•
the appliance is stable, its bottom faces down and its top faces up.
Tip:
To determine the top and bottom of the appliance, use the text direction
on the printed labels.
•
the appliance is installed off the floor to avoid drawing dust accumulated on the floor
into the interior of the appliance by the cooling fans.
Important:
Excessive dust inside the appliance can cause overheating and
component failures.
•
there must be at least 50cm (19 inches) of clearance at the front and rear of the
