Rack-Mount Installation Components
The Cuda 12000 is designed for mounting in a TIA/EIA-compliant 19”-wide,
Telco-style rack. You can rack-mount up to three systems in a single 7’ rack.
A proper rack-mount system installation is comprised of these components:
Chassis Cuda 12000. For information on how to rack-mount the
chassis, see “Rack-Mounting the Chassis” on page 71.
Fan tray The fan tray consists of six fans for optimal air flow and
cooling of a single chassis. A fan tray is required for each
rack-mounted chassis. For example, a three-chassis
installation requires 3 fan trays.
