step-by-step instructions for rack mounting and wall mounting.
Rack Mounting the NetVanta
The NetVanta is a 1U-high, rack-mountable unit that can be installed into a 19-inch equipment rack. The
following steps guide you in mounting the NetVanta 7000 Series into a rack.
• If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than ambient room temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer.
• Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Be careful not to compromise the stability of the equipment mounting rack when
installing this product.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading the circuit might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
