Guidelines for component placement in a rack

When installing equipment, the Layer two switches should be in a central location to allow for easy access of all LAN cabling. The Media Gateways and Media Gateway Expanders must be mounted together vertically, and they must be powered from the same power rail. Typical vertical power bars in equipment racks are rated at 15/20 amps @ 120 volts. Ensure that the equipment load does not exceed the power bar rating. Refer to Communication Server 1000E: Planning and Engineering (553-3041-120) for information on power consumption. Do not place redundant equipment on the same electrical circuit.

There are no thermal concerns about equipment placement.
