Rack Planning
When planning rack configuration, remember to allocate 1RU space in the rack for the LCU. The LCU may be
installed in any location within the rack, including directly above the ROME.
If installing ROME in a populated rack, install ROME in the lowest available space on the rack.
The ROME chassis uses non-forced air cooling. When installing the ROME chassis in a rack with OEM
electronic equipment we recommend that the OEM equipment be installed above the ROME chassis
and LCU. This helps to reduce or limit the transfer of heat from other equipment via the bottom of the
ROME chassis.

Installing Slider Mounting Units
Follow the steps below to install the ROME slider mounting units on a four post rack. Prior to continuing,
please make absolutely sure that the safety guidelines from section 1.3.2 (“Heavy Equipment”) have been
followed correctly.
1. Place the ROME positioning ruler on the rack rail.
The lower end of the ruler should be 12 inches
from the rack floor. It is recommended that the
slider be adjusted to the required depth prior to
mounting the slider. Screws may need to be removed
to adjust the brackets to the required depth. Two types
of rulers are provided for EIA and WECO racks.
2. Place one slider mounting unit above the arrow
on the ruler and secure the front side
of the slider mounting unit to the front rail.
