Enclosed Rack (Do Not Use)
Figure 2-1a shows a free-standing, enclosed rack with two mounting posts in the front. The
Cisco ADE 2130 and 2140 Series appliance should not be installed in this type of enclosed rack, because the appliance requires an unobstructed flow of cooling air to maintain acceptable operating temperatures for its internal components. Installing the appliance in any type of enclosed rack—even with the front and back doors removed—could disrupt the airflow, trap heat next to the appliance, and cause an overtemperature condition inside the appliance.
4-Post (Open) Rack
Figure 2-1b shows a free-standing, 4-post open rack with two mounting posts in front and two mounting posts in back. The mounting posts in this type of rack are often adjustable so that you can position the rack-mounted unit within the depth of the rack rather than flush-mount it with the front of the rack.
