Mounting the Chassis on a Rack

Note:
The Avaya G860 Media Gateway is provided with mounting flanges on either side of
the front of the chassis, appropriate for standard 19-inch racks(provided by
Customers). 23 inch racks are not supported by the Avaya G860 Media Gateway.
Note:
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Maintain Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that
the amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not
compromised.
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
that a hazardous condition is not caused due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips.)
Note:
To mount the chassis on a rack, take these 2 steps:
1. Grasp the handles on either side of the chassis as well as on the base of the
chassis. Lift it and fit it onto the rack.
The Avaya G860 Media Gateway complies with Network Equipment
Building System (NEBS) requirements for racks.
Rack Mount Safety Instructions (UL)
