Basic Site and Installation Planning
As you plan for basic site and installation requirements, consider the following:
• Does the installation site have adequate power for the routing system?
• Can the routing system be positioned close to the AC or DC power source, and are the power
receptacles easy to reach?
• Does the site have appropriate floor space available in which to install the rack-integrated chassis?
See the “Chassis Specifications” section on page 3-1 for more information.
• Is there a scissor lift or similar lifting device available to lift the rack-integrated chassis?
In addition, make sure that the installation site meets the following access requirements:
• At least 48 inches (122 cm) of clearance exist between rows of equipment. This space is needed to
access components in the chassis. Additional clearance may be necessary for installation.
• If a physical console terminal is desired near the system, make sure enough room exists for the
console terminal and the console cable is long enough to reach the system from the terminal.
• Chassis exhaust vents are not blocked, and input airflow at the bottom of the chassis is not blocked.
