LifeSize Bridge 2200 Installation Guide 4
Installing LifeSize Bridge 2200 into a Rack
Use the included rack mounting hardware to install LifeSize Bridge 2200 into your rack. The rack mounting
procedure can vary because of differences among racks. Therefore, refer to the installation instructions
that came with your rack in conjunction with these instructions.
Consider the following as you plan the rack installation:
Positioning the Rack Mounting Hardware
LifeSize Bridge 2200 ships with the following rack mounting hardware:
•One rack mounting bracket with four flat head screws installed at the front of each side of the chassis.
•Four pan head screws and four washers installed in the middle of each side of the chassis.
•Four pan head screws and four washers installed at the back of each side of the chassis.
You can leave the rack mounting brackets in their default position, remove the brackets entirely, or move
the brackets to the middle or back positions on each side of the chassis.
Rack Stability Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the
full weight of the rack resting on them. In a single rack installation, attach stabilizers to the rack.
In multiple rack installations, couple the racks together.
Air Flow and
Access Leave approximately 63.5 centimeters (25 inches) of clearance in front of the rack, and
approximately 76 centimeters (30 inches) of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
Ambient
Operating
Temperature
If you install LifeSize Bridge 2200 in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the
room. The maximum rated operating temperature is 40 degrees Celsius.
Circuit
Overloading Consider the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any
possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring.
Give appropriate consideration to equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground Because a reliable ground must be maintained at all times, ensure the rack itself is grounded.
Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the
branch circuit (the use of power strips, for example).
