Installation Methods
Rack-mounting is the preferred method of installation for the Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM. You can mount
the chassis:
•

Note
The Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM usually ships fully loaded. It is recommended that you remove the
components from the chassis to make the chassis lighter for your rack installation. It is recommended to
remove the two DC PEMs, the two Supervisor Cards, and the 10 Universal RF Line Cards.
Caution
Before you proceed, read the instructions in the
General Rack Installation Guidelines
When planning your rack installation, consider the following guidelines:

The Cisco RFGW-10 UEQAM requires a minimum of 13 rack units (22.75 inches or 57.785 cm) of
vertical rack space. Measure the proposed rack location before mounting the chassis in the rack.
Before using a particular rack, check for obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair
rack-mount installation. If a power strip does impair a rack-mount installation, remove the power
strip before installing the chassis, and then replace it after the chassis is installed.
Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for maintenance. If the rack is mobile, you can push it
back near a wall or cabinet for normal operation and pull it out for maintenance (installing or moving
cards, connecting cables, or replacing or upgrading components). Otherwise, allow 36 inches
(91.44 cm) of access to remove field-replaceable units.
Maintain a minimum clearance of 4 inches (10.16 cm) on the front and the rear of the chassis for the
cooling air inlet and exhaust ports, respectively. Avoid placing the chassis in an overly congested
rack or directly next to another equipment rack; otherwise, the heated exhaust air from the other
equipment can enter the inlet air vents and cause a high temperature condition inside the router.
Always install the heavier equipment in the lower half of the rack to maintain a low center of gravity
to prevent the rack from falling over.
