Mounting MVP410 and MVP810 in Racks
You can mount the MultiVOIPs in an industry‐standard EIA 19‐inch rack enclosure.
Safety Recommendations for Rack Installations
Ensure proper installation of the unit in a closed or multi‐unit enclosure by following the recommended installation as defined by the enclosure manufacturer. Do not place the unit directly on top of other equipment or place other equipment directly on top of the unit. If installing the unit in a closed or multi‐unit enclosure, ensure adequate airflow within the rack so that the maximum recommended ambient temperature is not exceeded. Ensure that the unit is properly connected to earth ground by verifying that it is reliably grounded when mounted within a rack. If a power strip is used, ensure that the power strip provides adequate grounding of the attached apparatus.
When mounting the equipment in the rack, make sure mechanical loading is even to avoid a hazardous condition. The rack used should safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it supports.
Ensure that the mains supply circuit is capable of handling the load of the equipment. See the power label on the equipment for load requirements (full specifications for MultiVOIP models are presented in chapter 1 of this manual).
This equipment should only be installed by properly qualified service personnel. Only connect like circuits ‐ connect SELV (Secondary Extra Low Voltage) circuits to SELV circuits and TN (Telecommunications Network) circuits to TN circuits.
Installing into 19Inch Rack
Attaching the MultiVOIP to a rack‐rail of an EIA 19‐inch rack enclosure requires two people.
You must attach the brackets to the MultiVOIP chassis with the screws provided, as shown the first figure that follows, and then secure unit to rack rails by the brackets, as shown in the second figure that follows. Because equipment racks vary, screws for rack‐rail mounting are not provided. Follow the instructions of the rack manufacturer and use screws that fit.
1.Position the right rack‐mounting bracket on the MultiVOIP using the two vertical mounting screw holes.
2.Secure the bracket to the MultiVOIP using the two screws provided.
3.Position the left rack‐mounting bracket on the MultiVOIP using the two vertical mounting screw holes.
4.Secure the bracket to the MultiVOIP using the two screws provided.
5.Remove feet (4) from the MultiVOIP unit.
6.Mount the MultiVOIP in the rack enclosure. Use the rack manufacture’s mounting procedure to do so.
