Installing indoor RT equipment 3–5
RT installation
The IDU can be used on a tabletop or installed in a 19–inch
(48.3–centimeter) rack. With optional adapter brackets, the IDU
can also be installed in a 23–inch (58.4–centimeter) rack.
Safety guidelines
Observe these guidelines from Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
(UL) when you install IDU chassis in a rack (any rack):
• Make sure the power requirements of the IDU chassis plus
the cumulative power draw of other equipment in the rack
do not overload the supply circuit and/or wiring of the rack.
• The IDU weighs about 20 pounds (about 9 kilograms).
Have someone help you when you lift the IDU chassis to
install it in the rack.
• Always load the rack from bottom to top to ensure a stable
and safe rack.
• Installation of the IDU chassis within the rack system
should not reduce air–flow within the rack.
• The maximum recommended ambient temperature for the
IDU chassis is 50 °C (122°F).
• While installing the IDU chassis into the rack, make sure
you maintain a proper earth grounding for the equipment.
