Installation Site Suggestions
When determining an installation site for the XSR chassis, follow the guidelines outlined below:
• For proper cooling, maintain a minimum clearance of 15.2 centimeters (6 inches) behind the
chassis and 5.08 centimeters (2 inches) of clearance on either side of the chassis.
• If installing the XSR chassis as a free-standing unit on a shelf, ensure that the shelf can support
a minimum weight of approximately 20 pounds per fully loaded chassis plus the weight of the
connected network cables.
• For access to the rear of the chassis, allow an area of 48.26 centimeters (19 inches) wide by 61
centimeters (24 inches) deep.
• If installing the XSR chassis in an equipment rack, ensure that the rack can support and
remain stable with the chassis installed.
