Avaya SG203/SG208 Security Gateway Hardware Installation Guide

Rackmount

The SG203 and SG208 security gateways can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The location of the chassis and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring room are extremely important for proper system operation. Equipment placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause system malfunctions and shutdowns and can make system maintenance difficult.

The following information can help you plan an acceptable equipment rack configuration.

•Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not overly congested because each unit generates heat. An enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.

•When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the ventilation grates. If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is seated all the way into the rack.

To attach the device to a standard 19-inch equipment rack:

1.From one side of the device, remove the four front side screws.

2.Using the screws provided with the bracket, attach the bracket to the device.
