Installing the Device
2.
Insert the device into the rack. To make the modules and ports accessible from the front, insert the power
supply side of the device first. Reverse the orientation to have the power supplies, management ports and
LEDs accessible from the front.
NOTE
Since heat within the device is channeled to the enclosure, it is recommended that 1 rack-unit
of space, or 44 mm (1.75 in), be kept empty above the device. This allows a small amount of
convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of
ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack
space.
3.
Secure the adapters to the rack using M6 or #10-32 screws.
Section 2.3.2
