Mounting the SN10100 to a Rack
The SN10100 is mounted on a customer provided equipment rack using the mounting hardware packaged in
the box. To rack mount the SN10100, you will need:
•
One 19” customer provided equipment racks. The rack must be solidly anchored to the floor with appropri-
ate support at the top of the racks.
•
Climate controlled room: 0 to +50 Celsius, 0 to 95% non-condensing humidity.
The SN10100 is housed in a 1U chassis, as described in
. It is important that you provide for enough
room on the equipment rack to allow for the installation of the SN10100. Consider the available space on your
equipment rack and the height of the SN10100. Due to the rear-exhaust, heat vents and the efficient heat dis-
sipation design, there is no need to leave any physical vertical space above or below the placement of the
SN10100 on the equipment rack.
The SN10100 is mounted on the 19” equipment rack using the angle brackets and screws provided in the box.
To mount the SN10100, follow these steps:
1.
Using two metal screws, attach one angle bracket to the front, left-hand side of the SN10100 when viewed
from the front, as shown in
. Do the same for the angle bracket on the right-hand side.
2.
Start mounting equipment at the top-most position of the rack, keeping in mind the space required on the
equipment rack (
).
