Rack Mounting the IDP Sensor
The location of the Sensor and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring room
are crucial for proper system operation.
Use the following guidelines while configuring your equipment rack.
Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. An enclosed rack should have
louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.
When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not
block the intake or exhaust ports. If you install a chassis on slides, check the
position of the chassis when it is seated all the way into the rack.
In an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan in the top, equipment higher in the
rack can draw heat from the lower devices. Always provide adequate ventilation
for equipment at the bottom of the rack.
Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air. The best placement of the baffles
depends on the airflow patterns in the rack.
The IDP 50 Sensor occupies 1 rack unit in an equipment rack. The IDP 200, IDP
600C/F, and IDP 1100C/F Sensors occupy 2 rack units in an equipment rack.
Rack mounting requires the following tools:
Number 2 Phillips-head screwdriver
Rack-compatible screws
The included rack mounting brackets. Each device comes with the following
brackets:
2 side-mounted rails for mounting to the front and back of the rack
4 mid-mount brackets for mid mounting 2 U devices
2 mid-mount brackets for mid mounting 1 U devices
To rack mount the Sensor using the rails:
1. Using a flathead screwdriver, attach the rails to each side of the chassis with the
bracket screws. Make sure the hinged brackets are at the back of the device.
Make sure the rails are positioned so they reach the back of the rack when the
device is mounted.
