2.2 Installing into a Rack Enclosure
When mounting the MCED‐100 into a rack enclosure (Figure 2‐2):
• PROPER GROUNDING PROTECTION IS REQUIRED. The equipment must be
connected to the protective earth connection at all times. It is therefore imperative
that the unit is properly grounded, using the ground stud provided on the unit rear
panel, during installation, configuration, and operation.
• PROPER AIR VENTILATION IS REQUIRED. In a rack system where there is high
heat discharge, provide forced‐air cooling with top‐ or bottom‐mounted fans or
blowers.
o Make sure there is adequate clearance inside the enclosure, especially at
the side for air ventilation.
o Air temperature inside the rack enclosure should never exceed 50
°
C
(122
°
F).
For information about custom rack enclosures, contact Comtech EF Data
Customer Support during normal business hours or visit Comtech EF Data’s Web
site (www.comtechefdata.com/support.asp).
• The MCED‐100 CANNOT have rack slides mounted to the sides of the chassis.
Cooling fans and exhaust vents are provided here – air flow must not be
impeded. Comtech EF Data recommends that an alternate method of support is
provided within the rack, such as standard rack shelves or the optional Rear‐
Mounting Support Bracket Kit. If there is any doubt, contact Comtech EF Data
Customer Support during normal business hours.
