Installing the SCOPIA Gateway 27

Mounting the SCOPIA 1000 Chassis in a 19-inch Rack

MOUNTING THE

SCOPIA 1000

HASSIS IN A

19-

INCH RACK

This SCOPIA 1000 platform is intended for stationary mounting in a rack

designed to meet the physical strength requirements of NEBS GR-63-CORE

and NEBS GR 487. Be sure to mount the system in a way that ensures even

weight distribution in the rack. Uneven mechanical loading can result in a

hazardous condition. Secure all mounting bolts when installing the enclosure to

the rack. For more information, see the SCOPIA1000 Platform Guide.

Note The SCOPIA 1000 chassis fits standard 19" EIA racks. Mounting flanges

are attached to the front of the enclosure to facilitate front mounting. The flanges

can be repositioned for center-mounting the enclosure.

Warning It takes more than one person to safely lift the SCOPIA 1000 chassis.

Get assistance and use proper lifting techniques when moving the system. To

prevent damage to the components, never use component handles or cables to lift

or move the entire system.

 Procedure

1 Disconnect all power sources and external connections and

cables.

2 Select a position in the rack that does not interfere with other

equipment and that provides safe weight distribution.

3 For efficient cooling, the area around the SCOPIA 1000

chassis intake and exhaust vents should be clear of

obstructions. The intake should be away from other system

exhausts. For more information, see the Cooling Subsystem

chapter of the SCOPIA1000 Platform Guide.

4 Secure the mounting flanges to the front or middle of the

enclosure.

5 Place the enclosure in its intended location and line up the

mounting holes on the SCOPIA 1000 chassis flanges with the

rack mounting holes.

6 Bolt the enclosure to the rack (rack hardware is not included).
