Installation
Introduction
Installation procedures are similar for all frames covered within this manual. Exceptions, if
any, have been noted in each of the following paragraphs.
Rack Mounting
Carefully inspect the frame to ensure that there has been no shipping damage. Make
sure all shipping material is removed from the router frame.
Each of the routing switchers described in this manual can be rack mounted in a standard
19" (RU) EIA rack assembly and includes rack "ears" at the ends of the front of the
frames. None of the switcher models require spacing above or below the unit for
ventilation. If ample space exists, a 1RU spacing gap is recommended.
To rack mount any of the routing switchers, simply place the unit's rack ears against the
rack rails of the rack, and insert proper rack screws through each of the holes in the rack
ears. Always rack mount the routing switcher prior to plugging the unit into a power
receptacle or attaching any cables.
Important: Rear mounting brackets must be installed prior to installation of the router
into a rack. The rear mounting brackets are contained in the accessory kit supplied with
your router.
CAUTION!
The operating temperature range of the Ponderosa series router is 0 to 40 °C. Do not exceed the
maximum (40 °C) or minimum (0 °C) operating temperature.
Rear mounting brackets must be installed prior to installation of the router into a rack. The rear
mounting brackets are contained in the accessory kit supplied with your router.
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s
maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
