Power Supply Modules
The chassis houses up to two (hot-swappable|) Power Supply modules for providing power load
sharing and AC power redundancy in case of failure of one of the Power Supply modules. Each
module provides an AC power inlet on the rear panel of the chassis for connection to an
electrical power outlet.
Power LED Description
Each Power Supply module provides a POWER LED on its front panel which indicates the status
of the power supply, as described in the following table.

CHAPTER4 Mounting the Device Mediant 2600 SBC | Hardware Installation Manual
4 Mounting the Device
The device can be mounted in one of the following ways:
■Placed on a desktop (see Desktop Mounting)
■Installed in a standard 19-inch rack (see Rack Mounting)
The sides of the chassis, where the air vents are located must remain unobstructed to
ensure adequate airflow and prevent overheating inside the chassis. Pay attention to
wiring and cable routes to avoid blocking of the ventilation openings.
Les panneaux latéraux du châssis où se trouvent les buses de ventilation doivent être
dégagés pour assurer un flux d’air adéquat et prévenir la surchauffe à l’intérieur du
châssis. Faites attention au câblage et aux chemins de câbles pour éviter de bloquer
les bouches d’aération.
Desktop Mounting
The device can be mounted on a desktop by attaching the four anti-slide bumpers (supplied) to
the underside of the device. Once you have attached these bumpers, simply place it on a
desktop in the desired position.
➢To attach the anti-slide rubber bumpers to the device:
1. Flip the device over so that its underside faces up.
2. Locate the four anti-slide grooves on the underside -- one on each corner.
Figure 4-1: Rubber Feet Locations
3. Peel off the adhesive, anti-slide rubber feet (supplied) and stick one in each anti-slide
groove.
- 11 -

CHAPTER4 Mounting the Device Mediant 2600 SBC | Hardware Installation Manual
4. Flip the device over again so that it rests on its underside with the rubber feet in contact
with the surface.
Rack Mounting
The device is designed to fit into a 19-inch industrial rack of 1 rack-unit height (1U). You can
mount it in the rack using any one of the following mounting options:
■(Recommended) Mounting the chassis on a pre-installed shelf in a 19-inch rack – see
Mounting in a 19-inch Rack using a Pre-Installed Rack Shelf
■Mounting the chassis by attaching it directly to the 19-inch rack frame (posts) using the
supplied front-mounting brackets and orderable rear-mounting brackets – see Mounting in
a 19-inch Rack using Front and Rear Brackets
Rack Mount Safety Instructions: When installing the chassis in a rack, implement the
following safety instructions:
●Elevated Operating Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (TA) of 40°C (104°F).
●Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not
compromised.
●Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
●Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
●Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips.)
Mounting in a 19-inch Rack using a Pre-Installed Rack Shelf
The device can be placed on a pre-installed shelf in a 19-inch rack, as described below. This is
the recommended method for mounting the device.
➢To mount the device on a pre-installed shelf in a 19-inch rack:
1. Make sure that your rack shelf is secured to the rack posts and in a horizontal level position
in the rack.
2. Attach the front-mounting brackets (supplied) to the chassis, using the supplied screws.
- 12 -

CHAPTER4 Mounting the Device Mediant 2600 SBC | Hardware Installation Manual
3. Place the device on the pre-installed shelf in the rack.
4. Position the chassis so that the front-mounting brackets are flush against the front rack
posts and that the holes of the brackets align with the holes on the posts.
5. Secure the front-mounting brackets to the rack posts using standard 19-inch rack bolts (not
supplied). This step is crucial in that it prevents the chassis from accidentally sliding off the
shelf.
Mounting in a 19-inch Rack using Front and Rear Brackets
The device can be mounted in a 19-inch rack by attaching the chassis directly to the rack frame,
using the supplied front-mounting brackets and orderable rear-mounting brackets.
Warnings:
●At least two people are required to mount the device in the 19-inch rack.
●When attaching the chassis to the rack, it is mandatory to connect it using both
the front-mounting brackets and the rear-mounting brackets (supplied).
Avertissements:
●Au moins deux personnes sont nécessaires pour monter l’appareil dans le bâti
19 pouces.
●En fixant le châssis au bâti, il est impératif de le connecter à l’aide de supports de
montage avant et de supports de montage arrière.réglables (fournis).
You can order the following rear-mounting kits, each suited for a specific rack depth:
■Rear-mounting brackets suited for rack depths of approximately 60 cm (CPN for ordering
is FRU/M26-83/REARRMK60): Adjustable rear-mounting bracket whose length can be
adjusted from 59.3 to 62.7 cm (23.3 to 24.6 in.) to suit the distance between the chassis
and the rear post.
●Rear-Mounting Brackets (x2) and screws (x2):
●Rear-Mounting Flanges (x2) and screws (x6):

■Rear-mounting brackets suited for rack depths of approximately 80 cm (CPN for ordering
is FRU/M26-83/REARRMK80): Adjustable rear-mounting bracket whose length can be
adjusted from 77 to 83 cm (30.3 to 32.6 in.) to suit the distance between the chassis and
the rear post.
●Rear-Mounting Bracket (x2) and screws (x6):
●Rear-Mounting Flange (x2) and screws (x6):
➢To mount the device in a 19-inch rack using front- and rear-mounting brackets:
1. Attach the front-mounting brackets (supplied) to the chassis, using the supplied screws.
2. Open the Rear Mounting Bracket kit and remove its contents. Make sure that all the items
are included in the kit (see above).
3. Attach the two rear-mounting brackets to the two-rear rack posts, using two screws (not
supplied) per bracket. Make sure that you attach the brackets at the same height level in
the rack. See the following figure for correct orientation of the brackets when attaching
them to the posts.
