Figure 2.1 Installing the Mounting Adapters
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.
Secure the adapters to the rack using M6 or #10-32 screws.
