Hardware Installation Manual 4. Mounting the Device
4 Mounting the Device
The device can be mounted in one of the following ways:

On a desktop – see Section 4.1 on page 19

Installed in a standard 19-inch rack – see Section 4.2 on page 20
4.1 Desktop Mounting
The device can be mounted on a desktop, by attaching the supplied four adhesive, anti-
slide rubber feet to the underside of the device. Once you have attached these rubber
bumpers, you can place it on a desktop where the bumpers are in contact with the surface.
Figure 4-1: Underside of Device with Rubber Foot
To apply 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 device's underside–one in each of the four
corners, as shown in the figure below:
Figure 4-2: Location of Grooves for Rubber Bumpers
3. Peel off the adhesive, anti-slide rubber bumpers and stick one in each anti-slide
groove.
4. Flip the device over again so that it is resting on its underside and the rubber bumpers
are in contact with the surface.

Mediant 600
4.2 19-Inch Rack Mounting
The device can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack.
Rack Mount Safety Instructions
•Elevated Operating Ambient 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 (Tma) of 45°C (113°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.)
To mount the device in a 19-inch rack:
1. Ensure that you have a pre-installed rack shelf on which the device can be placed.
2. Attach the two mounting ear brackets (supplied) to each side of the device's chassis,
using the supplied screws, as shown in the figure below:
Figure 4-3: Attaching the Mounting Ear Brackets
3. Place the device on a pre-installed shelf in the rack.
4. Attach the other end of the mounting brackets (that you installed in Step 2) to the
vertical track of the rack's frame, using standard 19-inch rack bolts (not supplied).
