You can install the router in a open-frame rack, four-post rack, or cabinet.
NOTE:
The shipping and installation site must be an ESD approved area.
The rack rails must be spaced widely enough to accommodate the router chassis's
external dimensions: 59.50 in. (151.13 cm) high, 36.20 in. (91.95 cm) deep, and
19 in. (48.26 cm) wide (see
In an open-frame rack, center-mounting is required because the more even distribution
of weight provides greater stability. For center-mounting, you use the mounting brackets
attached to the center of the chassis for rack mounting.
NOTE:
The dimensions also include the cable managers and EMI cover.
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of the fully configured router,
up to 985 lb (446.79 kg).
For the cooling system to function properly, the airflow around the chassis must be
unrestricted. Allow at least 36 in. (91.44 cm) of clearance between front-to-rear-cooled
routers. Allow 2.8 in. (7 cm) between the side of the chassis and any non-heat-producing
surface such as a wall.
NOTE:
To help redirect exhaust air away from the chassis, there is an
optional adjustable air baffle that is be installed on the upper fan tray
access.
For service personnel to remove and install hardware components, there must be
adequate space at the front and back of the router. Allow at least 36 in. (91.44 cm) in
front of the router and 36 in. (91.44 cm) behind the router.
The rack or cabinet must have an adequate supply of cooling air.
Ensure that the cabinet allows the chassis hot exhaust air to exit from the cabinet
without recirculating into the router.
The router must have the shipping covers installed to help move the router into the
rack or cabinet.
