Table 10: Rack Requirements and Specifications for WLC100 Wireless LAN Controllers
GuidelinesRack Requirement
Use a two-post rack or a four-post rack. You can mount WLC100 controllers on any 19-in.
two-post or four-post rack that provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75 in.
or 4.45 cm) increments and that meets the size and strength requirements to support the
weight. A U is the standard rack unit defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated
Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association
(http://www.eia.org ).
Rack type
The holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm), so that WLC100
controllers can be mounted in any rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.
Mounting bracket hole spacing
•
Ensure that the rack complies with the size and strength standards of a 19-in. rack as
defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number
EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry Association (http://www.eia.org ).
•
Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to accommodate the external
dimensions of the WLC100 controllers chassis. The outer edges of the rack-mount tray
extend the width of the chassis to 19 in. (48.2 cm).
•
The rack must be strong enough to support the weight of WLC100 controllers.
•
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the required clearance around
WLC100 controllers and rack.
Rack size and strength
•
Secure the rack to the building structure.
•
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack to the floor.
•
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets for maximum
stability.

Cabinet Requirements for WLC100 Wireless LAN Controllers
You can mount WLC100 controllers on two posts of a 19-in. rack or cabinet.
Table 11 on page 22 provides the cabinet requirements and specifications for WLC100
controllers.

Guidelines
Cabinet
Requirement
You can mount the controller in a cabinet that contains a 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks,
Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics Industry
Association (http://www.eia.org ).
Cabinet size
•
The outer edges of the rack-mount tray extend the width of the chassis to 19 in. (48.2 cm).
•
The minimum total clearance inside the cabinet must be 30 in. (76.2 cm) between the inside of the
front door and the inside of the rear door.
