Wall Requirements
The gateway can be installed on solid wall (for example, wood, plastic, concrete, or brick wall).
Ensure that the thickness of the wood and plastic wall on which the gateway can be installed is 1 in.
(2.54 cm). For more information on mounting the gateway on a wall, see “Wall-Mounted
Rack Requirements
The following sections describe the rack requirements:

Rack Size and Strength
The gateway is designed for installation in a 19-in. (48.2 cm) rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks,
Panels, and Associated Equipment (document number EIA-310-D) published by the Electronics
Industry Association (EIA) (
). You can install the gateway either in a 19-in. rack
or 23-in. rack.
The rack rails must be spaced wide enough to accommodate the dimensions of the gateway
chassis: 2.6 in. (6.7 cm) high, 9.44 in. (23.97 cm) deep, and 17.51 in. (44.47 cm) wide. The chassis
height of 2.6 in. (6.7 cm) is approximately 1.5 RU. The chassis comes with brackets for use with the
19-in. rack. Prepare the equipment racks by measuring and marking the space for each gateway
you plan to install.
Proper Rack Installation
To confirm proper equipment rack installation, verify the following:
z
Racks are installed and electrically grounded according to manufacturer instructions.
z
Always secure the rack to the structure of the building. If your geographical area is subject to
earthquakes, bolt the rack to the floor. For maximum stability, secure the rack to the ceiling.
z
Equipment rack installations comply with applicable local, state, and national codes.
Cabinet Requirements
The gateway can be installed in an enclosed cabinet with standard 19-in. rack rails. The following
sections describe cabinet requirements:
