This appendix illustrates typical cable management and space requirements for various system configurations in the Cisco cabinet. It also contains a table with the height of Cisco components in inches, centimeters, and rack-mount units (RMUs). This can help in the calculation of height requirements for individual setups. The last illustration shows the bracket installation in the Cisco (for a BPX switch, in this case). The information is grouped as follows:
Table A-1 lists Cisco cabinet dimensions and the heights of components that may be installed in the cabinet.
