4 Mounting the Device
You can mount the device using one of the following methods:
Desktop mounting
19-inch Rack mounting
Wall mounting
4.1 19-Inch Rack Mounting
You can mount the device in a standard 19-inch rack, using AudioCodes 1U 19-inch rack
mount shelf (not supplied).
Note:The AudioCodes 1U 19-inch rack mount shelf is not supplied with your product
and can be ordered separately from an AudioCodes sales distributor.
Warning:
•Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tmax) of 40°C (104°F).
•Reduced Air Flow: Installation should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation on the equipment is not compromised. Do not stack equipment one on
top of the other and keep the ventilation openings free from cables or any objects to
allow free air circulation. The device must be mounted correctly on the rack mount
shelf to avoid air blockage to the three vents located on the bottom of the device.
Mounting the device on a shelf other than AudioCodes' rack mount shelf may cause
the device to overheat, resulting in permanent damage to it.
•Only one device can be mounted per rack mount shelf.
•The minimum vertical rack space for mounting the device in a 19-inch rack must be
2Us (3.5 in. or 88.9 mm). See figure below.
Figure 4-1: Minimum Vertical Space for 19-inch Rack Mounting
