6 Cooling System
The Mediant 8000 com ponents are cooled by Fan Tray Modules, FM/8K, loc ated in
front of the chassis, abov e the board slots. The FM/8 K Fan Tray Module draws air in
through a perforated grill at the front bottom of the chassis.
The incoming air pass es t h r ough a removable f ilter ( lo c ated und er the f r ont of th e c ard
cage and covered by a perforated grill), whose honeycombed design prevents RF
interference.
The second FM/8K Fan Tray Module provides redundant protection should one
develop a fault.
6.1 Air Flow
Clean air is drawn in by the f ans and pass es through t he ent ire set of plug-i n front and
rear boards residing in the s lots, cooling each one . The air exits the M ediant 8000 via
perforated vents in the chassis.
Blank panels are used to cover all unoccupied slots (as per the customer’s
configuration) on both sides of the chassis. The front blank baffled panels are specially
constructed to allow optimal air flow within the chassis.

16.2 Mounting the Chassis on a Rack
The Mediant 8000 is prov ided with mounting flang es on either side of the fr ont of the
chassis, appropriate for standard 19-inch racks.
Rack Mount Safety Instructions (UL)
Note: When mounting the chassis on a rack, be sure to implement the following
Safety instructions:
• Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
• Maintain 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 caused 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 overcurrent 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 direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips.)
To mount the chassis on a 19-inch rack:
1. Grasp the handles on either side of the chassis as well as on the base of the
chassis (this requires two people, one on each side of the carton, grasping the
handle and base on that side). Lift it and fit it onto the rack.
