The G700 can stand on a flat surface or be mounted in the standard 19-inch rack. If the G700 is
to be mounted in a rack, you have the choice of fastening the unit to the rack either at the front
of the unit or at the middle. This positioning choice will depend on space arrangements. In either
case, mounting brackets must be attached to the sides of the chassis, either at the center or to
the front of the chassis.
To affix mounting brackets to the G700
1. Remove the screws from the bracket kit.
2. Position a bracket over the desired mounting position.
3. Affix the bracket to the chassis with the screws provided.
4. Tighten with the screwdriver.
5. Repeat on the other side.
If the G700 is to be a table-top unit, four feet must be attached to the bottom of the unit. Use the
following procedure to do this:
To affix feet on the table-top G700
Note:
Note:
Use this procedure only if the G700 will be installed as a table-top unit (not in a
data rack).
1. Remove the four feet from their packaging.
2. Turn the G700 Media Gateway over to allow the feet to be mounted.
3. Position one foot into the mounting site near the corner of the chassis.
4. Press the plastic rivet into the foot with a stylus until it is firmly seated on the chassis.
You have now prepared the G700 Media Gateway for mounting, and, assuming you are going
to use a data rack, you are ready to mount the chassis in the rack.
Mounting the G700 media gateway in the rack
The G700 Media Gateway mounts in a standard 19-inch rack. It is held in place by screws
through the two mounting ears. The unit can be mounted either in the center of the unit or at the
front of the unit; however, only the front mount allows use of the guides for electrical cables. To
avoid balancing problems and cabling complications, the racks should be filled from the bottom;
that is, mount units in the lower positions first.
Before mounting the G700, check for the following:
●
Ensure that the rack is bolted to the floor and is earthquake-protected, if required. If the
rack is not securely fixed in place, do not proceed with the installation.
●
If the G700 is being mounted in a rack with other equipment already installed, the G700
must be positioned to avoid imbalance.
