DXi6701/DXi6702 Installation and Configuration Guide
Installing the DXi6701 or DXi6702 System
Installing the DXi6701/DXi6702 in a rack consists of the following steps:
1 Locating the Mounting Position on page 10
2 Installing the DXi6701 and DXi6702 Node on page 11
3 Installing the DXi6701 and DXi6702 Expansion Module on page 16
4 Cabling the DXi6701/DXi6702 on page 20
Locating the Mounting
Position
The DXi6701/DXi6702 systems is designed to fit in a standard 19 inch wide rack. It is
important for the chassis installation to locate the hole pattern in the rack rails. You
must allow 3U (5.2 in. / 13.2 cm) of vertical space for the DXi6701 and DXi6702 node
and 2U (3.5in. / 8.9 cm) of vertical space for each expansion module installed in the rack.
Rack cabinets that meet EIA-310 standards have an alternating pattern of three holes
per rack unit with center-to-center hole spacing (beginning at the top hole of a 1U
space) of 15.9 mm, 15.9 mm, and 12.7 mm (0.625 inch, 0.625 inch, and 0.5 inch) for
the front and back vertical rails (see
Figure 3 for the DXi6701 and DXi6702 node and
Figure 4 for the expansion module). Rack cabinets may have round or square holes. For
more information, refer to the
DXi6701 and DXi6702 Site Planning Guide
(PN 6-67200).
