Planning Your Installation
Before you install your Cisco IAD2430 series integrated access device (IAD), see the information in this
chapter:
• Location and Mounting Requirements, page 2-1
• Distance Limitations for Interface Cables, page 2-4
• Interference Considerations, page 2-6
Location and Mounting Requirements
The three mounting possibilities for your Cisco IAD are as follows:
• Rack mounting
• Wall mounting
• Desktop mounting
The mounting location must provide the following:
• Access to the chassis
• Access to a suitable power source
• Access to an appropriate earth ground
• Allowance for adequate heat dissipation and airflow around the chassis
Temperature Control and Ventilation
For proper cooling, the installation location (room, closet, or cabinet) for the Cisco IAD2430 series IAD
should always be well ventilated and provide adequate air circulation. The room temperature should be
maintained at from 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C).
Note The Cisco IAD2430, IAD2431, and IAD2432 series IAD chassis is designed for front-to-back airflow.
Rack-Mounted Installation
If the Cisco IAD is installed in an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan at the top, make sure that heated
air drawn upward from other equipment does not prevent adequate cooling.
