Mounting Requirements
Each 24.5 in. (62.23 cm.) height chassis requires 14 Rack Mounting Units (RMUs) of space. You can mount the system
into any standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) equipment rack or Telco cabinet with the mounting brackets supplied with the
chassis. Additional hardware, such as extension brackets, may be used to install the chassis in a standard 23-inch (58.42
cm) cabinet or rack. Both front and mid-mount installations are possible, depending on the position of the bracket on the
chassis.
You can mount a maximum of three chassis in a standard 48 RMU (7-feet) equipment rack or Telco cabinet, provided
that all system cooling and ventilation requirements are met.
Caution: When planning chassis installation, ensure that equipment rack or cabinet hardware does not hinder
air flow at any of the intake or exhaust vents. Also, make sure that the rack/cabinet hardware, as well as the ambient
environment, allow the system to function within the required limits. For more information, refer to Environmental
Specifications chapter of this guide.
Rack mounting requires the use of industry-standard equipment racks and cabinets and supplier-recommended fasteners.
The following figure depicts how the chassis is mounted in a standard equipment rack.
