Installing the WAVE Appliance in an Equipment
Rack
Use the optional rackmount shelf to install your WAVE-274 or WAVE-474 in an
equipment rack. Make sure that you follow the guidelines described in the
following topics:
• Rack-Mounting Considerations, page 3-5
• Rack Requirements, page 3-6
Rack-Mounting Considerations
Before installing your WAVE appliance in a rack, review the following guidelines:
• Ensure that the room air temperature is below 95 °F (35 °C).
• Do not block any air vents; usually 6 inches (15 cm) of space provides proper
airflow.
• Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.
• Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.
• Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.
• Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during
installation.
• Connect the WAVE appliance to a properly grounded outlet.
• Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.
Caution Use safe practices when lifting.
Caution Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb (50 kg) on top of
rack-mounted devices.
Caution Install the appliance only in a rack cabinet with perforated doors.
