You can install the services gateway in a four-post rack or cabinet or a two-post rack.
WARNING: When you install the services gateway in a two-post rack, you
must attach the mounting brackets at the middle of each chassis side, as
shown in Figure 3 on page 6. Do not attempt to install the services gateway
in a two-post rack with the mounting brackets attached at the front of the
chassis. Such an installation might overstress either the brackets or the
rack, causing the chassis to fall and inflict injury.
The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the external dimensions
of the services gateway chassis: 8.75 in. (22.2 cm) high, 25.5 in. (64.8 cm) deep, and
17.5 in. (44.5 cm) wide. The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width to
19 in. (48.3 cm).
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured services
gateway, up to 116 lb (52.6 kg). If you stack five fully configured services gateways in
one rack, it must be capable of supporting about 579 lb (263 kg).
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be
adequate space at the front and back of the services gateway. Allow at least
30 in. (76.2 cm) in front of the services gateway and 24 in. (61 cm) behind the services
gateway.
The rack or cabinet must have an adequate supply of cooling air.
Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit the cabinet without
recirculating into the services gateway.
The services gateway must be installed in a rack that is secured to the building structure.
The services gateway should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit
in the rack.
When mounting the services gateway in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top, with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
To unpack the services gateway and prepare for installation, you need the following
tools:
