Rack size and strength
Table 13 on page 31 provides the rack requirements and specifications for the
TCX1000-RDM20.
Guidelines
Use a two-post or four-post rack that provides bracket patterns spaced at 1-U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm)
increments and that meets the size and strength requirements to support the weight.
A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment
(document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Components Industry Association
http://www.ecianow.org/
(
The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1.25 in. (or 3.17 cm), so that the TCX1000-RDM20
can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.
Ensure that the rack complies with the standards for a 19-in., 21-in., or 23-in. rack as defined in
Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published
by the Electronics Components Industry Association (
Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the TCX1000-RDM20
chassis. The outer edges of the front-mounting brackets extend the width to 22.9 in. (58.16 cm).
Ensure that the front and rear rack rails are spaced between 28 in. (71.1 cm) and 36 in. (91.4 cm)
front-to-back.
Ensure that the rack is strong enough to support the weight of the TCX1000-RDM20.
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for proper clearance around the
TCX1000-RDM20 and rack.
Secure the rack to the building structure.
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as to the wall or floor brackets for maximum
stability.
