Mount the units in the rack.
RAS 1500 units can be mounted in any order, but for ease of
management, we recommend you install RAS 1500 Router Unit on the
bottom of the stack or rack.
Rack Installation
Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when you install RAS 1500 in a rack.
■
Operating Ambient Temperature
— If the RAS 1500 is installed in a
closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient
temperature. Therefore, we recommend that you install the
equipment in an environment compatible with the RAS 1500’s
maximum rated ambient temperature. Refer to Appendix C,
“Technical Specifications,” for details.
■
Air Flow
— Install the RAS 1500 so that the rack has enough air flow
for safe operation.
If the RAS 1500 fails while in a rack, you might have to allow more
spacing between the other equipment in the rack to provide more air
flow.
■
Mechanical Loading
— To avoid a hazardous condition, mount the
equipment in the rack evenly and place the rack on a stable surface.
