Cisco Systems 2130 Manual De Usuario

Some equipment racks are also secured to ceiling brackets, if necessary, due to the weight of the 
equipment in the rack. Make sure that the rack you are using to install the appliances is secured to the 
building structure.

As mentioned in the 

, maintain a 6-inch (15.2-cm) 

clearance at the front and rear of the appliance to ensure adequate air intake and exhaust.

Avoid installing the appliances in an overly congested rack. Air flowing to or from other appliances 
in the rack might interfere with the normal flow of cooling air through the appliances, increasing the 
potential for overtemperature conditions within the appliances. (See the 

 for more information about overtemperature conditions.)

Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the rack for appliance 
maintenance.

To prevent appliance overheating, never install the appliance in an enclosed rack or room that is not 
properly ventilated or air conditioned.

Follow your local practices for cable management. Ensure that cables to and from the appliances do 
not impede access to perform equipment maintenance or upgrades.

Typically, the Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance mounts to a 19-inch (48.3-cm) 2-post 
equipment rack with rack-mounting brackets that attach to the front sides of the appliance. The inside 
width between the two posts or mounting strips (left and right) must be at least 17.5 inches (44.45 cm). 
See the 

 for information about the types of 

equipment racks.

Even though the intake and exhaust for cooling air are located on the front and on the rear of the 
appliance, respectively, it is recommended that multiple appliances be stacked in a rack with at least a 
1.5-inch (3.81-cm) vertical clearance.

To prevent damage to the appliance, only use Cisco provided hardware and screws when installing the 
appliance.

To secure the appliance to the equipment rack, you must use the two 10-32 x 1/2-inch rack screws (see 

 and 

) for each side or follow your local practices for 

installing the appliance into your equipment rack. Ensure that the rack-mount brackets have been 
securely fastened. See the 

 for more 

information.

The following procedure provides a general outline for mounting the appliance into the equipment rack.
