Location and Mounting Requirements

The three mounting possibilities for your Cisco VG224 voice gateway are as follows:
•
Rack-mount
•
Wall-mount
•
Bench-top
The mounting location must provide the following:
•
Access to the chassis
•
Access to a suitable power source
•
Access to an appropriate earth ground
•
Allowance for adequate heat dissipation and airflow around the chassis

Temperature Control and Ventilation

The installation location (room, closet, or cabinet) for the Cisco VG224 should always be well ventilated
and provide adequate air circulation to ensure proper cooling. The room temperature should be
maintained from 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C).
Note
The Cisco VG224 voice gateway chassis is designed for front-to-back airflow.
