Rack Mounting the Xedge 6002

The Xedge 6002 chassis can only be front- or rear-mounted in a 19-inch open rack or cabinet. Use
the mounting brackets and screws provided, as described below. Allow adequate space around the
chassis in order to install/remove modules, make cable connections and provide adequate air flow.
1. Using the flathead screws provided, attach the four mounting brackets to the left and right
sides of the chassis: two brackets support the front of the chassis, two support the back.
2. Using two screws for each bracket, mount the chassis assembly to the 19-inch rack or cabinet.
3. Install blank panels at empty front/rear slots as necessary.
4. Since air flow is conducted through the sides of an Xedge 6002 chassis, multiple Xedge 6002
chassis may be installed in the rack without space between them.
Note
IMPORTANT! When mounting the chassis in a rack shared with other type of equipment, ensure that the
installation meets the cooling requirements of all equipment. To prevent equipment damage, maintain
adequate space between the equipment as required to allow unrestricted air flow.

Air Flow Requirements

You must install the chassis in a location that permits good air flow through the chassis. As you face
the front of the chassis, the fans cool the internal components by drawing cool air through the left
side and expelling the warmed air out the right side.
Air flow is provided by the Fan Tray Assembly which has two or four fans, each delivering 13.5
cubic feet per minute (cfm). All fans must be operational to supply adequate air flow. With this
cooling arrangement, it is important not to block the air flow through the chassis sides. The
maximum temperature for air entering the chassis is 122 deg. F (50 deg. C). Failure to implement
these recommendations may result in overheating.
Note
IMPORTANT! All empty slots must have blank panels installed to maintain proper chassis cooling, EMI
shielding, ESD protection, and safety requirements.
Note
Refer to the section on

Power Supply

The Xedge 6002 chassis has one integral AC power supply. The power supply cannot be accessed
or replaced by the user.
Note
For information on replacing the power supply, contact your authorized Xedge representative.
