Section 2 — Installation

Rack Layout

Performer-HD is designed to mount in a 19-inch equipment rack. The
frame occupies 1 RU (Rack Unit, 1.75 inches/4.45 cm) of vertical space.

Figure 2-6

shows how to mount the frame in the rack. The rear rack mount-

ing bracket is supplied with the frame. Use the mounting bracket to sup-
port cable weight on the back of the Performer-HD.

Figure 2-6. Rack Installation

There are many different rack manufacturers. The size and thread pitch of
mounting screws varies. These screws must be supplied by the rack manu-
facturer or purchased locally.

When installing a Performer-HD router in a rack with other devices keep
the Performer-HD router out of the airflow path of vertically cooled com-
ponents.
