5.1 Mounting the iDirect 3000 series™ Satellite Router
The IDU can be mounted on a desktop, shelf, or in a rack using the optional Rack-
Mount Tray. This section provides details on how to accomplish the installation.
NOTE:
The 3000 series router is designed for indoor use only.
5.1.1 General Guidelines for Mounting Configurations
When installing the IDU, follow these guidelines:
•
When selecting the site, consider accessibility, availability of power, signal,
network cable connections, and the possibility of future expansion.
•
Plan for access to both the front and rear of the IDU chassis.
•
Ensure that the room where the IDU operates has adequate ventilation. Ambient
air temperature may not cool the IDU chassis to acceptable operating
temperatures without adequate ventilation. The ambient temperatures and other
environmental specifications are listed in
•
Select a suitable IDU installation location away from any area that tends to
collect dust.
•
Do not install the IDU chassis on the floor.
5.1.2 Guidelines for Desktop or Shelf Mounting
If the IDU chassis is mounted in an enclosed shelf, ensure that the shelf has adequate
ventilation. An enclosed shelf should have openings on the sides and top to provide
air circulation. Additional fans/blowers may be required if the ambient air in the
enclosed shelf exceeds 40°C.
5.1.3 Guidelines for Rack Mounting
If you are installing the 3000 series router in a 19-inch rack, you must use the Rack
Mounting Tray Kit (sold separately). The IDU Rack Mount Tray requires a minimum of
two rack units (3.5 inches or 8.9 cm) of vertical rack spaces. Be sure to measure the
proposed rack location before mounting the chassis.
If you install the IDU in an enclosed rack, ensure that the rack has adequate
ventilation. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and top, with fans, to
provide ventilation.
