Chassis Installation
Access Considerations
The doorways, corridors, and elevators leading to the installation site must be able
to accommodate the rack. Consider the following when planning the arrival and
unloading of the PTE 2000 rack:
• Including the pallet on which the PTE 2000 rack is shipped, the height of the
rack is 91.66 in. (2,325 mm). The pallet width is 39.4 in. (1,000 mm).
• The weight of an empty PTE 2000 rack is approximately 125 lb (57 kg),
excluding the shipping crate.
• Use freight elevators (if available) to move the equipment to upper floors.
Rack Cooling Requirements
You can install up to seven AC-powered CVX 600s or up to ten DC-powered
CVX 600s in a standard Telco or EIA rack without front or rear doors or side
panels. Nortel Networks recommends using a PTE 2000 rack.
To ensure proper cooling for the CVX 600, the rack must meet the following
requirements:
• The operating environment must provide airflow at 200 CFM per CVX 600
chassis at a temperature range of 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C).
• The optimal ambient temperature for reliable long-term CVX 600 operation is
68° to 77°F (20° to 25°C).
