6.2 Installation in the Network Cabinet of the Customer
• For better heat dissipation, when installing the MA5800-X2 in the network cabinet, avoid the
short circuit of airflow inside the MA5800-X2 and maximize the vent area.
• If the network cabinet is installed outdoors or in a corridor that is exposed to rain, the network
cabinet must meet the requirements of IP55 class protection.
• If the network cabinet is installed indoors or in a corridor that is out of rain, the network cabinet
must meet the requirements of IP31 class protection.
The modes of installing the MA5800-X2 in the network cabinet of the customer vary with the
specifications for the network cabinet of the customer. The following section describes the common
modes to be taken for installing the MA5800-X2 in the network cabinet of the customer. This can
serve as a guide for hardware engineers to install the MA5800-X2.
