Fully enclosed electrical cabinets are the preferred option for mounting your
ClearCube chassis. When using cabinets, make sure that both front and back panels
and doors are vented to provide sufficient airflow for intake and exhaust. If you plan
to use a cabinet enclosure, ensure that you have at least 34 inches (86cm) of interior
depth measured from the front of the unit, to accommodate the cabling that exits from
the back of the chassis. Provide adequate space on the back of the rack or cabinet to
allow servicing the cables and equipment. Cabinets may be fitted with casters for
easier mobility or service access.
Space and Floor Support Requirements
The following table details the weight of a 42U rack or cabinet with 14 fully-loaded
chassis (not including the weight of the cabling or the rack).
Verify that the rack and floor will support this weight, even if initial installation does
not include 14 chassis units. This allows for future expansion at the location. If other
equipment is to be installed in the rack or cabinet, take this additional weight into
consideration.
WARNING: When installing a chassis in a cabinet enclosure, never use only
one set of mounting brackets at the front. Select a cabinet with an
adjustable center rail or back rail in addition to the front rail. ClearCube's
adjustable mounting kit will then be required to attach the chassis to both
the front and center/back rails.
NOTE
Blade and chassis weights can vary depending on the
components each device contains. Blade and chassis weights
shown in the following table are the maximum weights for each
device, where all possible components are populated in the
device.
