Carrier Access Network Device Axxius 800 - Manual (Page 56)

2-6 Axxius 800 - Release 2.2
Physical Installation
Rack Mounting
To maintain proper convection cooling, maintain at least 1/2 RU between the Axxius
and any other equipment (each Axxius occupies 3 RU of rack space). Therefore, if one
Axxius is mounted above another Axxius, then there would be a total of 1 RU between
them (1/2 RU above the lower unit and 1/2 RU below the upper unit).
Using the 1/2 RU airspace guideline, up to 15 Axxius 800 units may be installed in a
7’ equipment rack.
