Wave Server Installation Guide
Mounting the Wave Server
The Wave Server can be rack mounted or table mounted. See “Environmental requirements” on
page 2-4 for specific requirements on how to prepare site the where the Wave Server will reside.
Caution: Due to the weight of the Wave Server, mount it with assistance whenever possible.
Review “Proper lifting” on page 2-7 before rack mounting.
Important: Note the following:
• Do not place anything on or against the chassis that prevents proper ventilation. Be sure
to allow a minimum cooling clearance of 4 inches on all sides of the Wave Server.
• To prevent the fans from pulling dust into the chassis, mount the Wave Server at least 2
feet (0.5 meters) above the floor. Do not operate the Wave Server at floor level.
Rack mounting the Wave Server
The Wave Server is shipped ready to be rack mounted. The Wave Server requires an EIA- or
IEC-compliant, 19-inch rack for proper mounting. See “Physical specifications” on page 2-4 for
the dimensions of the Wave Server, including rack height.
To rack mount the Wave Server:
1. Insert a rack mounting screw loosely into each side of the rack.
2. Slide the Wave Server into the rack and hang it onto the screws using either the keyhole
or slot on each mounting bracket. (This frees you from having to hold the chassis in place
as you continue.)
3. Tighten the screws, and then insert and tighten a second rack mounting screw in each
bracket.
Table mounting the Wave Server
Table mounting is a convenient solution for temporary or mobile operation requirements of the
Wave Server. Do not place the Wave Server on the floor.
Caution: Ensure that the table supports the weight of your Wave Server. See “Proper lifting”
on page 2-7 for system weight specifications.
