Installing the WAVE-594 and WAVE-694

This chapter describes how to install a WAVE-594 and WAVE-694 in an equipment rack. This chapter contains the following sections:

•Rack-Mounting Considerations, Parts, and Tools, page 3-1

•Rack Mounting and Cabling the WAVE-594 and WAVE-694, page 3-2

•Connecting Power and Booting the System, page 3-8

•Checking the LEDs, page 3-8

•Removing or Replacing a WAVE Appliance, page 3-9

Before you begin the installation, read Chapter 2, “Preparing to Install the WAVE-594 and WAVE-694”and the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for Cisco Wide Area Virtualization Engines document.

Warning Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 1004.

Rack-Mounting Considerations, Parts, and Tools

To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow requirements when deciding where to install a rack:

•Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.

•Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.

•Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks.

The WAVE-594 and WAVE-694 appliance draws in cool air through the front door and expels warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.

Caution To prevent improper cooling and damage to the equipment, do not block the ventilation openings.

When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a WAVE appliance or rack component, the gaps between the components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the WAVE appliances. Cover all gaps with filler panels to maintain proper airflow.
