Location and Mounting Requirements
Enclosed Racks
Caution Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. An enclosed rack should never be overcrowded and should have louvers and a fan.
If the Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway is installed in an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan at the top, make sure that heated air drawn upward from other equipment does not prevent adequate cooling.
If the chassis is installed using slide rails, check for blocked ventilation ports when it is in position in the rack or cabinet. Make sure that the ventilation ports of the Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway are not blocked.
Tip Baffles can help isolate exhaust air from intake air. Baffles also help draw cooling air through the cabinet. The best location for the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in the rack. You can test the airflow by experimenting with different equipment arrangements.

Access to Chassis
Allow space at the rear of the chassis for cable connections. Also consider the need to access the chassis for future upgrades, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Chassis Grounding
Chassis grounding is provided through the power cable, which uses a standard grounding plug. However, the chassis also requires a reliable earth ground using the earth ground lug and hardware provided.
