Preparing the Site for Installation
This section provides the necessary instructions and information for installing the CPX8216
chassis.
Guidelines for Chassis Location
Before you begin to set up and cable your new chassis, consider these guidelines:
■ Locate the chassis in a stable area free of excess movement and jarring
■ Install the chassis safely. Ensure that cables and cords are out of the way
■ Ensure that the set-up is comfortable for users
■ Allow room for proper air flow for cooling
■ Locate the computer where it can be easily serviced (front and rear)
■ Provide an area free of excess heat, dust, smoke and electrostatic discharge (ESD)
Mounting Options
This chassis has been designed to be mounted in an equipment rack or cabinet while
maintaining conformance to the NEBS 24" deep lineup and the ETSI 600mm deep lineup for
telecommunication equipment. The types of rack or cabinet in which the CPX8216 can be
mounted are listed below:
■ 19" or 23" Frame Relay Rack/Cabinet
■ 19" or 23" EIA Equipment Rack/Cabinet
■ Nonstandard or Proprietary Rack/Cabinet
Refer to Chapter 5, Chassis Installation for specific mounting instructions.
Weight Distribution in a Rack
To avoid hazards arising from uneven mechanical loading of the rack, plan your installation so
that (within the limitations of equipment and cabling):
■ The weight of the equipment is evenly distributed in the rack
■ The heaviest units are mounted towards the bottom of the rack
Power Requirements
Power for the rack chassis should come from a totally dedicated circuit breaker. Do not plug any
other electrical device into an outlet connected to the circuit breaker serving the rack
equipment.
Data loss can occur if the circuit is overloaded and the circuit breaker trips.
