Figure 3-1 SCOPIA Elite MCU Chassis

Setting up the SCOPIA Elite 5200 Series MCU | 8
RADVISION | Installation Guide for SCOPIA Elite 5200 Series MCU Version 7.5
Chassis Lifting Guidelines
A fully configured SCOPIA Elite 5200 Series MCU chassis weighs approximately 44lbs. (20kg.). The
chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. Before you install the MCU, ensure that your site
is properly prepared, so youcan avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate for power
sources and network connections.
Whenever you lift the chassis or any heavy object, follow these guidelines:
•Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.
•Do not attempt to lift the chassis by yourself; have someone assist you.
•Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the object between your feet.
•Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
•Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you must bend down to lift
the chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to reduce the strain on your lower back
muscles.
Lift the chassis from the bottom. Grasp the underside of the chassis exterior with both hands.
Figure 3-2 shows how to lift the MCU chassis.
Figure 3-2 How to lift the SCOPIA Elite 5200 Series MCU
What to Consider Before Installing the Brackets
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:
•Install the SCOPIA Elite 5200 Series MCU in an open rack whenever possible. If installation in
an enclosed rack is unavoidable, ensure that the rack has adequate ventilation.
•Avoid placing the MCU in an overly congested rack or directly next to another equipment rack.
Otherwise, the heated exhaust air from other equipment can enter the inlet air vents and
cause the MCU to overheat.
•The height of the chassis is 5.25 inches (13.34 cm).

Setting up the SCOPIA Elite 5200 Series MCU | 9
RADVISION | Installation Guide for SCOPIA Elite 5200 Series MCU Version 7.5
•Maintain a minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.62 cm) on the left and right of the chassis for
the cooling air inlet and exhaust vents.
•Keep a 1U space between adjacent units and ensure that this space is not blocked on the front
and rear sides to preserve the above flow.
•Keep a 2-3U space above the rack top cover and ensure that this space is not blocked to
prevent air from short circulating front-to-rear.
•Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can
push it back near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out when necessary for
maintenance(installingor moving port adapters, connecting cables, or replacing orupgrading
components). Otherwise, allow 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance to remove MCU Field
Replaceable Units.
•To mount the MCU between two posts or rails using the rail kit, the inner clearance (the width
between the inner sides of the two posts or rails) must be at least 17.7 inches (45 cm).
