Choosing the Type of Rack
There are many types of racks on the market. The installation instructions in this guide are intended
for a 19" rack.
Verify that the 19" rack meets the EIA-310 standards. This standard includes precise definitions of
the shape of the holes, their size, the depth of the rack and other features. For more information on
the EIA-310 standard, see http://electronics.ihs.com/collections/eia/index.htm
We recommend choosing an open rack. If installing in an enclosed rack, ensure that the rack has
adequate ventilation.
Ensure the device has enough space on the rack to prevent overheating by following these
guidelines:
• Do not place the device in an overly congested rack or directly next to another equipment rack.
• Find a space on the rack which is at least 7 empty square holes in height on the rack posts.
The device takes up 3 holes (1U) on the posts. You need at least 2 additional holes to slide the
device into the rack.
