Mounting the Kaleido-MX in a Rack
The Kaleido-MX (1RU) housing frame occupies 1RU, in a standard 19-inch rack.
To mount the frame
1 Open the front door to expose the rack mounting flanges at the ends of the chassis (see
Opening the front door , on page 8).
2 Install the frame in the rack using 4 standard rack-mounting screws (not supplied)
through the four holes in the mounting flanges.
Ventilation
In a Kaleido-MX (1RU), ventilation is provided by two fans, one located at each end of the
rear panel.The fans draw air through the frame and exhaust it to the rear. Ventilation slots in
the front panel allow air to flow into the frame, and an air filter is mounted in the frame
door.
The frame-mounted fans are supplemented by thermostatically-controlled fans mounted
in each power supply. They are not field-serviceable.
Ensure that the front panel ventilation slots are not obstructed. Check the air filter regularly
to ensure that it is not plugged up with debris. The filter may be cleaned by rinsing in warm
water. Dry thoroughly before replacing it in the frame. See
Replacing the Air Filter on
page 18, for details.
Note: You must tilt the door on an angle so the guides can move freely.
There are no electrical connections to the door.
IMPORTANT
To ensure proper cooling, the front panel of the Kaleido-MX frame must be
closed at all times when cards are installed and operating.
