Rack Mount Safety Instructions
When installing the chassis in a rack, implement the following safety instructions:
• Elevated Operating Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (TA) of 40°C (104°F).
• Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than

5.2.2 Deployment of a Standalone Device
The Ethernet ports on the E-SBC module can operate in pairs called Ethernet Groups to
provide Ethernet port 1+1 redundancy. In each pair, one port serves as the active Ethernet
port while the other as standby. When the active port fails, the device switches to the
standby Ethernet port.
By default, the Ethernet ports are grouped into pairs, as shown below. However, you can
change this port assignment, including assigning only a single port to an Ethernet Group.
For more information, refer to the User's Manual.
Figure 5-3: Ethernet Port Pairs
It is important that the two ports making up a pair are connected to different switches (but
in the same subnet). The figure below illustrates an example of implementing Ethernet-port
redundancy:

The device supports 1+1 high availability, whereby two devices are deployed and
connected to the same broadcast domain/s. In such a setup, the same Ethernet port-pair
redundancy setup is done for each device. For example, if port-pair 5 and 6 are used for
Device "A", then Device "B" must also use port-pair 5 and 6, as shown in the figure below:
Figure 5-5: Cabling for High Availability (Example)
In High Availability, the two devices interconnect through their Maintenance interfaces,
using the same Ethernet Port Group.
