Installing the Cisco IAD1101

Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Setting the Chassis on a Desktop

The location of the chassis is extremely important for proper operation. Equipment placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause malfunctions and shutdowns, and can make maintenance difficult. The following information will help you to plan the location of the chassis:

Plan for access to both front and rear panels of the chassis.
Ensure that the room where the chassis operates has adequate ventilation. Remember that electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate ventilation.

Caution Do not place anything on top of the Cisco IAD1101 that weighs more than 10 pounds (4.5 kg). Excessive weight on top could damage the chassis.

Mounting the Chassis in a Rack

This section describes the procedures for rack-mounting the chassis. The chassis comes with brackets for use with a 19-inch, 23-inch or 24-inch rack. The brackets are shown in Figure 3-1.

Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

If the rack contains only one unit, mount the unit at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is partially filled, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack contains stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers prior to mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Attaching the Brackets

To install the chassis in a rack, attach the brackets in one of the following ways:

With the front panel forward (see Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3 )
With the rear panel forward (see Figure 3-4 and Figure 3-5)
In a center-mount rack, with the rear panel forward (see Figure 3-6)

Note Use the Cisco-supplied screws for this installation.

Note If you are installing a Cisco IAD1101 in a 19-inch rack with a 17.5-inch opening, orient the rack-mount brackets so that, when installed, they do not increase the width of the chassis. (See Figure 3-2.)

If you are installing a Cisco IAD1101 in a 19-inch EIA-standard rack with a 17.75-inch opening or a 23-inch rack, orient the rack-mount brackets so that, when installed, they increase the width of the chassis. (See Figure 3-3.)

Note The following illustrations show how to connect the bracket to one side of the chassis. The second bracket connects to the opposite side of the chassis.
