Mounting Guidelines

When preparing to install your Acme Packet 6300/6350, please follow these guidelines:

  • Leave enough clearance (approximately 8” (20 cm)) in front of the equipment rack for sufficient air flow and to allow access to the reset button and graphic display buttons.
  • Leave enough clearance (approximately 8” (20 cm)) in the rear of the equipment rack to allow for sufficient airflow and for ease in cabling and/or servicing the rear panel.
  • Do not block the air inlets or the fan module, or obstruct airflow to the system in any way.
  • Position equipment to allow for serviceability. This will aid in chassis removal, and prevent the need to remove or loosen other equipment in the rack.
  • Remember that the Ethernet interfaces are limited to 328 feet/ 100 meters as defined by the FAST Ethernet standard, IEEE 802.3.
  • Use the contents of the Slide extender kit for cabinet-style, 4-post equipment racks that range in depth from 28-32 inches.
