4.1.4.1

Selecting the Installation Site

The installation site is generally determined by the 19-inch cabinet already installed.
The following specifications must be observed when selecting a location:
The 19-inch cabinets provided for installing the HiPath 3800 components must have the
●
following characteristics:
– Components installed in the 19-inch cabinet must be accessible from both the front
and the rear.
– It should be possible to install 19-inch components both at the front and at the rear (
four vertical bars).
– It is recommended that the width of the cabinet measure 700 to 800 mm; the depth at
least 600 mm. Deeper cabinets (800 - 900 mm) make installation, cable servicing, and
the installation of additional components in the rear of the cabinet much easier.
– The support brackets required for installing the system cabinets must have a minimum
ultimate load of 40 kg. The support brackets must be purchased from the relevant 19-
inch cabinet supplier.
– The system cabinets must be fixed to the cabinet bars using the angle brackets includ-
ed in the delivery.
One height unit (one height unit is approx. 1.7" = 43 mm) must be kept clear above the cab-
●
inet to accommodate the gray plastic cover (Figure 4-9) attached to the top of the system
cabinets. Never remove this plastic cover.
The following minimum clearance must be provided in order to ensure adequate ventilation
●
of the system cabinets in the 19-inch cabinet (see Figure 4-10):
– three height units between two stacked system cabinets.
– one height unit above one system cabinet if a patch panel is being installed, for exam-
ple.
To guarantee sufficient heat dissipation, the basic cabinet must be mounted at the lowest
●
position in a 19-inch cabinet. In a 19-inch cabinet with active (heat-emitting) components
already installed, the lowest position must be cleared for installation of the basic cabinet.
If inactive components (e.g. patch panel) are involved, the basic cabinet can also be in-
stalled above them.
