19-Inch Rack Mounting

You can mount the device in a standard 19-inch rack, using AudioCodes 1U 19-inch rack mount shelf (not supplied).

The 1U 19-inch rack mount shelf is not supplied with your product and can be ordered separately from an AudioCodes sales distributor.

Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tmax) of 40°C (104°F).
Reduced Air Flow: Installation should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not compromised. Do not stack equipment one on top of the other and keep the ventilation openings free from cables or any objects to allow free air circulation. The device must be mounted correctly on the rack mount shelf to avoid air blockage to the three vents located on the bottom of the device. Mounting the device on a shelf other than AudioCodes rack mount shelf may cause the device to overheat, resulting in permanent damage to it.
Only one device can be mounted per rack mount shelf.
The minimum vertical rack space for mounting the device in a 19-inch rack must be 2Us (3.5 in. or 88.9 mm). See following figure.

Minimum Vertical Space for 19-inch Rack Mounting

To mount the device in a 19-inch rack:
1. Position the rack mount shelf (not supplied) in the 19-inch rack, aligning the holes of the shelf's side brackets with the holes of the rack's front posts, as shown in the following figure.

Positioning Shelf in Rack

Make sure that you attach the shelf's side brackets (left and right) at the same height level in the rack so that the shelf is in a horizontal position.

2. Attach the shelf to the rack posts using four standard 19-inch rack bolts (not supplied).
3. Place the device on the shelf so that the device's front panel faces the front of the rack and the device's four anti-slide rubber legs (located on the bottom of the device) fit into the four square openings on the shelf, as shown in the following figure (viewed from underneath):

4. Make sure the device is firmly mounted on the shelf so it does not horizontally slide in any direction:
