Safety Information

Warning

For safety information you need to know before working on your Cisco universal gateway, see the Regulatory

Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Setting Up the Chassis

You can install the chassis in a rack or set it on a desktop. Select the procedure that best meets the needs of your network:

•Rack-Mounting the Chassis, page 5

•Desktop Installation, page 7

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. To see translations of the warnings that appear in this

publication, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that accompanied this device.

Rack-Mounting the Chassis

This section describes how to rack-mount the chassis. The universal gateway arrives with 19-inch rack-mount brackets and

larger brackets for use with a 23- or 24-inch rack.

Cisco AS5350 Rack-Mount Brackets

Cisco AS5400 Rack-Mount Brackets

The following information will help you plan your equipment rack configuration:

•Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the rack is not congested, because each unit generates heat. An

enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air. Heat generated by equipment near the bottom of

the rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above.

•When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack frame does not block the intake or exhaust ports. If the

chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is seated in the rack.

•Baffles can isolate exhaust air from intake air, which also helps to draw cooling air through the chassis. The best placement

of the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in the rack, which can be found by experimenting with different

configurations.

•When equipment installed in a rack (particularly in an enclosed rack) fails, try operating the equipment by itself, if possible.

Power off other equipment in the rack (and in adjacent racks) to allow the unit under test a maximum of cooling air and

clean power.

•Install the chassis and external devices to which it will connect in a contiguous stack.

Desktop Installation

For desktop or shelf mounting, use the rubber “feet” shipped on a black adhesive strip with the chassis. They protect the chassis

and provide a nonskid surface.

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

To attach the rubber feet, take the following steps:

Step 1 Locate the rubber feet that shipped with the chassis.

Step 2 Place the universal gateway upside-down on a smooth, flat surface.

Note: The second bracket attaches to the rack at the other side

of the chassis. The chassis can also be installed with the

front panel forward.

29034

Note: The second bracket attaches to the rack at the other side

of the chassis. The brackets can also be installed with the

front panel forward.

Step 3 Peel the rubber feet off the black adhesive strip and place them adhesive-side down at each corner of the underside of

the chassis.

Step 4 Place the universal gateway top-side up on a flat, smooth, secure surface.

Caution Do not place anything on top of the universal gateway that weighs more than 10 lb (4.5 kg). Excessive weight on

top could damage the chassis.

Chassis Ground Connection

You must connect the chassis to a reliable earth ground using the ground lug (provided) and size AWG 6 (13 mm2) wire.

To attach the chassis ground, take the following steps:

Step 1 Strip one end of the ground wire to expose approximately 0.75 in. (20 mm) of conductor.

Step 2 Crimp the ground wire to the ground lug, using a crimp tool of the appropriate size.

Step 3 Attach the ground lug to the chassis. Use a medium flat-blade screwdriver and the screws supplied with the ground lug.

Tighten the screws to a torque of 8 to 10 in-lb (0.9 to 1.1 N-m).

Step 4 Connect the other end of the ground wire to a suitable grounding point at your site.
