Chapter 3 Installing the WAVE-594 and WAVE-694

Rack Mounting and Cabling the WAVE-594 and WAVE-694

Caution Always use filler panels to fill empty vertical spaces in the rack. This arrangement ensures proper airflow. Using a rack without filler panels results in improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.

•Observe the following additional requirements to ensure adequate airflow and to prevent damage to the equipment:

–Front and rear doors—If the 42U rack includes closing front and rear doors, you must allow 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation).

–Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).

Note Rack-mounting the WAVE-594 and WAVE-694 appliance is supported for rear mount in a 4-post rack or front mount in a 2-post rack.

Table 3-1lists the rack mounting hardware included in your shipping container. You will need a Phillips screwdriver. Verify that you have received the following items for the installation:
