A rack mounting hardware kit is included in your shipping container. To mount
the WAVE-574 in the rack, you need a T-10/T-15 Torx screwdriver.
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the
top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting
or servicing the unit in the rack.
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and
airflow requirements when deciding where to install a rack:
Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.
•
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to
•
the back of another rack or row of racks.
The WAVE-574 draws in cool air through the front door and expels warm air
through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately
ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must
be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the
ventilation openings.
