Mounting the CVX 600 in a Rack

Rack Capacity

You can install up to seven AC-powered CVX 600s or up to ten DC-powered CVX 600s in a standard Telco or Electronic Industries Association (EIA) rack.

Rack Requirements

The rack must meet the following requirements:

Heavy-duty steel construction

EIA standard hole spacing, or a Telco rack with 25 mm spacing

Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) or 23 in. (58.42 cm), depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)

Nortel Networks Rack Recommendation

Nortel Networks recommends using a Physical Telecommunications Environment (PTE) 2000 rack.

Caution: Nortel Networks does not authorize the use of racks with front or rear doors or side panels. The operating environment must provide airflow at 200 cubic feet per minute (CFM) per CVX 600 chassis at a temperature range of 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). The optimal ambient temperature for reliable CVX 600 operation is 68° to 77°F (20° to 25°C).

Rack Placement

The rack you plan to install should be in an area that is:

A dedicated equipment room or closet, wired in accordance with local electrical codes

Large enough to allow easy access for service and maintenance

Free of dust, smoke, and electrostatic discharge
