Hardware Installation and Setup
In a well ventilated area, mount the RMX 1500/RMX 2000 unit in a
19” rack. The RMX 4000 unit can be mounted in a 19” or 23” rack. It is
important to adhere to the Site Requirements as described in the
RMX 1500/2000/4000 Hardware Guides, ”Site Requirements” on page 1-3.
Installing the RMX 1500
The following procedures have to be performed to install the RMX 1500 in
your site:
• Installing the RMX in a rack or as a standalone
• Connecting the RMX 1500 to the power source
• Connecting the network (LAN and ISDN) cables to the RMX.
Mounting the RMX 1500 in a Rack
There are two methods for installing the RMX in a 19” rack:
• Using the chassis runners on the RMX 1500
— Install the chassis runners provided by Polycom in the rack using
the screws supplied by the rack manufacturer; two screws per
chassis runner.
To maximize conferencing performance, especially in high bit rate call
environments, a 1Gb connection is recommended for all RMX types.
For detailed instructions, precautions and requirements for installing the
RMX 1500 refer to the Polycom RMX 1500 Hardware Guide.
