TABLE 7 Space requirements

Chassis with

port-side side

vents

Yes

Note that if chassis depth (L) is less than 40.64 cm (16 in.), the chassis will not fit into a rack with a

maximum depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.) using the universal four-post rack kit. The maximum rack depth for

a chassis less than 40.64 cm (16 in.) is 81.28 cm (32 in.) minus the difference between the chassis

depth and 40.64 cm (16 in.). For example, a chassis with a depth (L) of 35.56 cm (14 in.) is 5.08 cm (2

in.) smaller than 40.64 cm (16 in.), so it will install into a rack with a maximum depth of 81.28 cm (32 in.)

- 5.08 cm (2 in.) = 76.2 cm (30 in.).

• Verify that the additional weight of the device does not exceed the rack weight limits.

• Ensure that an electrical branch circuit with the following characteristics is available:

‐ Required voltage and frequency as indicated in the Technical Specifications (200-240 VAC is

‐ Protection by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes.

‐ Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size that conform to the electrical rating on the device

‐ Grounded outlet compatible with the power cord and installed by a licensed electrician.

• Ensure that all equipment installed in the rack is grounded through a reliable branch circuit

connection. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.

• Ensure that the rack is mechanically secured to ensure stability.

• Ensure that the air temperature at the fan inlet is less than 40

• Ensure that the airflow available at the air vents meets the minimum requirements for the device.

NOTE

Install the device with the airflow aligned with any other devices in the rack. Some devices have airflow

running from port side to fan side and others have the opposite arrangement. Make sure that the airflow

for all devices moves in the same direction to maximize cooling.

Lifting requirements

For 1U and 2U devices, two people are required to install the device in a rack. One person holds the

device, while the other screws in the front and rear "L" brackets.
