2.4.2 Mechanical Installation
The gateway can be rack mounted for installation in a standard 19” rack. Front and back are arbi-
trary, the rack kit can be mounted so that one side is even with the vertical rack support and the
other side is recessed into the rack.
2.4.2.1
Minimum and Maximum Rack Depth for this Gateway
This gateway can go into 19” racks whose vertical supports are between 400mm and 800mm apart.
Be sure to order the installation kit to match your rack. Be sure you have the correct installation
kit. The Installation Kit must be compatible with the gateway (standard or short gateway) and with
the rack (short rack or standard rack).
Table 11 shows the Rack installation kit options. There are three possible rack options. Make sure
that you have the Rack installation kit that fits your needs.

Installing the Gateway in the Rack
Tools required and customer supplied parts
Parts included in the rail kit:
The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Take pre-
cautions to guarantee proper ventilation for air intake at the front of the chassis and
exhaust at the rear in order to maintain good airflow at ambient temperature. Cable
routing in particular should not impede the air exhaust from the chassis.
The gateway can be either front or rear mounted. The notion of “front” and “back” is
arbitrary. This document uses the terms power side and connector (IB/ETH) side to
reduce ambiguity.
