Chassis Installation
Mounting the CVX 600 in a Rack
Rack Capacity
You can install up to seven AC-powered CVX 600s or up to ten DC-powered
CVX 600s in a standard Telco or Electronic Industries Association (EIA) rack.
Rack Requirements
The rack must meet the following requirements:
• Heavy-duty steel construction
• EIA standard hole spacing, or a Telco rack with 25 mm spacing
• Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) or 23 in. (58.42 cm), depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)
Nortel Networks Rack Recommendation
Nortel Networks recommends using a Physical Telecommunications Environment
(PTE) 2000 rack.
Rack Placement
The rack you plan to install should be in an area that is:
• A dedicated equipment room or closet, wired in accordance with local
electrical codes
• Large enough to allow easy access for service and maintenance
• Free of dust, smoke, and electrostatic discharge
Caution: Nortel Networks does not authorize the use of racks with front
or rear doors or side panels. The operating environment must provide
airflow at 200 cubic feet per minute (CFM) per CVX 600 chassis at a
temperature range of 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). The optimal ambient
temperature for reliable CVX 600 operation is 68° to 77°F (20° to 25°C).
