and the NV8000 power supply,
which provides power to the router, are designed to mount in a 19
″ (482.6 mm) EIA rack. Although
it is not required that both the router and power supply be mounted in the same rate, for simplicity
this manual assumes only one rack frame is being used.
How to Rack Mount the Router and the Power Supply
1 Determine the placement of the router frame and power supply frame in the rack, and the rack
in the facility. When placing the frames and rack, keep in mind the following requirements (For
details, see
The router requires 22 RUs of vertical space.
The power supply requires additional vertical space: the NV6257 requires 5 RUs and the
NV8000 requires 3 RUs.
Be sure to locate the rack near an accessible AC source power outlet. The AC source is used to
power the power supply, which supplies power to the router.
To ensure proper cooling, leave space for unrestricted air flow through the front of the router,
and a minimum of six inches clearance at the rear where the cooling fans are located.
2 Locate the power supply frame, NV6257 or NV8000, whichever you are using.
3 If the power supply frame was shipped with the power supply modules in the frame , remove
the modules (PS6000 or PS8010).
4 Lift the power supply frame into position and attach the power supply frame to the front of the
rack with the appropriate screws. Be sure to place screws in all frame mounting screw holes.
