Chapter 2 Planning Your Installation
Location and Mounting Requirements
Caution Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. An enclosed rack should never be overcrowded and
should have louvers and a fan.
If you install the chassis by using slide rails, check for blocked ventilation ports when the chassis is
positioned in the rack or cabinet. Make sure that the ventilation ports of the Cisco IAD are not blocked.
Tip Baffles can help isolate exhaust air from intake air. Baffles also help draw cooling air through the
cabinet. The best location for the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in the rack. You can test the
airflow by experimenting with various equipment arrangements.
Wall-Mounted Installation
If you install the Cisco IAD on a wall, there should be plenty of space on both sides for adequate airflow
through the chassis.
Desktop Installation
If you place the unit on a desktop, do not stack other equipment or paper on the chassis. Allow plenty of
space for air circulation (front to back). Inadequate ventilation can result in equipment overheating and
damage.
Access to Chassis
Allow space at the back of the chassis for cable connections. Also consider the need to access the chassis
for future upgrades, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Chassis Grounding
Chassis grounding is provided through the power cable, which uses a standard grounding plug. However,
the chassis also requires a reliable earth ground, using the earth ground lug and hardware provided. For
more information, see the
“Installing the Ground Connection” section on page 3-14 .
Power Source
A Cisco IAD2430 series IADs with AC power supply autoselects either 100- to 127-V or 200- to 240-V
operation. The Cisco IADs with AC power supply include a 6-foot (1.8-meter) electrical power cord. (A
label near the power cord indicates the correct voltage, frequency, current draw, and power dissipation.)
The Cisco IAD2435 IAD connects to a 60-W, 12-VDC power adapter with the following specifications:
• Input voltage—85 to 264 VAC
• Input frequency—47 to 63 Hz
• Power output—60 W maximum
• Output voltage—+12 VDC
