FS2 Chassis Installation
The following information will help you install the FS2 chassis correctly.
Physical
Requirements for
Mounting the
Chassis
You can mount the FS2 chassis in two ways:
• Rackmounting—attach the FS2 (rear or front mounted) to a standard 19-inch wide
equipment rack. The chassis occupies only one vertical rack unit.
• Desktop—lay it on a horizontal flat surface.
Chassis Dimensions When planning the equipment location, consider the chassis dimensions:
• Height—1 rack unit, 1.75 inches (4.5 cm)
• Depth—16 inches (40.65 cm)
• Width—17.5 inches (44.45cm)
• Weight—7.85 pounds, 3.56 kilograms
Cabling and Cooling
Requirements
Observe these precautions when placing your FS2:
• Plan adequate space for cable routing from the back of the chassis. Ensure that cable
connectors are not stressed and cables are not bent or crimped.
• When rack mounting or stacking multiple FS2 chassis, ensure adequate airspace for
cooling around the FS2 units. Note the location of cooling vents on all equipment next
to the FS2 and ensure none are obstructed.
NOTE: FS2 units can be stacked vertically without limit as long as there is an adequate supply of cool
air around the FS2 vents.
Power
Requirements
The FS2 requires the following input voltage and power.
• Input Voltage—Chassis: autosensing 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60Hz,
fully redundant with both power supplies diode isolated.
• Power Consumption—55 Watts.
Networking
You can network the FS2 directly to a laptop or other desktop computer using a single
Ethernet cable (straight or cross-over), or connect it to a local area network (LAN). In
either case, the FS2 connects via its 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet connector. A LAN is a
shared network that includes other Ethernet devices all attached via a hub or digital
