Compatible Systems A00-1869 ユーザーズマニュアル

The IntraPort Enterprise-8 VPN Access Server is designed to be mounted in a 19-inch equip-
ment rack or in a Telco rack. Compatible Systems provides all the parts necessary for securing 
the supplied mounting brackets and ears to the device; however, due to the variety of equip-
ment racks and mounting techniques, you will need to provide your own screws or clips to 
secure the mounting brackets and ears to the equipment rack.

There are several things to consider when preparing to install the IntraPort Enterprise-8 VPN 
Access Server. 

•

Do not place the server on the floor, since it will more quickly accumulate dust. As 
alternatives to rack-mounting, it can be placed on a sturdy table or solid platform.

•

A clean, air-conditioned environment is ideal. 

•

An open equipment rack (i.e., one without side enclosures or doors) is recommended 
for adequate ventilation. 

•

The chassis requires 13.5 shelf positions (23.5 vertical inches) of rack space.

•

While no rear clearance is required, the front of the server needs adequate clearance 
for air circulation, RIOP card addition or replacement, cable connections, etc. At least 
two feet of front clearance and one inch of top clearance are recommended.

•

Load the equipment rack from the bottom. For stability, it is strongly recommended 
that the IntraPort Enterprise-8 VPN Access Server be placed in the bottom half of an 
equipment rack.

v Note: When stacking other equipment on the IntraPort Enterprise-8 VPN Access Server, do 
not exceed 35 pounds of evenly distributed weight on top of the server. Additional weight may 
bend the case.

To help ensure your safety and minimize potential damage to equipment, read and follow these 
guidelines before attempting to move or work on the IntraPort Enterprise-8 VPN Access 
Server. These guidelines do not encompass all potential hazards. You must use good judgment 
and due caution when working with this or any other electrical device. 

•

The default setting for the voltage switch on the power supplies for the Carrier-8 is for 
a low input voltage (marked 115V on the switch). If your electrical system requires a 
high input voltage on the power supplies, you must change the settings before plug-
ging in the server (for instructions, see 

).

•

Never attempt to move the server using the RIOP card handles or the filter cover 
opening. They will not support the weight of the device. Use the built-in side handles 
and either the large mounting handles, if you have installed them, or the very bottom 
of the chassis to move it (see Figures 

 and 

•

The IntraPort Enterprise-8 VPN Access Server weighs approximately 110 pounds. 
Moving the server requires at least two people, able to bear 55 pounds of weight 
apiece. If your union or company policy outlines a lower maximum weight load per 
person, use the appropriate number of people.    

•

Make sure you have a clear path between the server and the equipment rack, platform 
or table before attempting to move it into place.

 Warning: All power cords and interface cables must be disconnected before you attempt to
