The TX Matrix Plus router can be installed in many types of racks, including four-post
(telco) racks and open-frame racks. An example of an open-frame rack appears in Figure
42 on page 107.
The TX Matrix Plus router is designed for installation in a 23-in. rack as defined in Cabinets,
Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310-D) published by
the Electronics Industry Association (
The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the TX Matrix Plus chassis's
external dimensions: 52.0 in. (132.1 cm) high, 36.2 in. (91.9 cm) deep, and 21.4 in. (54.4 cm)
wide.
The center-mounting brackets and front-mounting flanges extend the width to 23 in.
(58.4 cm). The spacing of rails and adjacent racks must also allow for the clearance
requirements around the TX Matrix Plus router and rack for airflow and maintenance.
The chassis height without the cable managment system is 52 in. (132 cm or approximately
29.7 U). The cable management system comb panel assembly that installs on top of the
chassis adds 17 in. (43.2 cm or approximately 9.7 U) to the height.You can install a TX
Matrix Plus router in a rack that has at least 39.4 U of usable vertical space.
The cable management system on the rear of the chassis adds 9 in. (22.86 cm) to the
depth.
NOTE: A is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and
U
Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310-D) published by the
Electronics Industry Association.
The holes in the center-mounting brackets and front-mounting flanges are spaced at
2 U (3.5 in. or 8.9 cm). The TX Matrix Plus router can be mounted in any rack that provides
holes spaced at those distances.
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured TX Matrix
Plus router, up to about 925 lb (420 kg).
