Installing the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine

Note The four-post rack-mounting system is designed for racks that do not have pre-threaded holes. If you are using an equipment rack with pre-threaded holes, the pins will not protrude through the rack. Instead, secure the slide rails to the rack by attaching screws through the slide rail pin brackets at both ends of each rail. (See Figure 3-11.)

Installing the Chassis on a Tabletop

When you install a chassis on a workbench or tabletop, ensure that the surface is clean and in a safe location and that you have considered the following:

•The chassis should be installed off the floor. (Dust that accumulates on the floor is drawn into the interior of the chassis by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the device can cause overtemperature conditions and component failures.)

•There must be approximately 19 inches (48.26 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the chassis for accessing network cables or equipment.

•The device must receive adequate ventilation (it cannot be installed in an enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate).
