Rack-mounting the gateway

CAUTION:

The gateway is heavy. For rack stability, install it at a lowest possible position.

Attaching slide rails to the rack

Attach the required slide rails to the rack before you mount the gateway in the rack. For more information about attaching slide rails, see the slide rails installation guide.

Make sure the slide rail installation positions are at the same height on the four rack posts.

Table 1 Slide rail requirements

Gateway model	Max. chassis weight (full configuration)	Applicable slide rails

To remove a fan tray:

1. Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it is reliably grounded.

2. Loosen the captive screws by using a Phillips screwdriver.

3. Hold the fan tray handle and then pull the fan tray out of the chassis slowly.

4. Put the removed fan tray on an anti-static mat.

Figure 4 Removing a fan tray (M9000-AI-E16 gateway)

Mounting the gateway in a rack

CAUTION:

· When you move the gateway to a low temperature environment from a high temperature environment, condensation might occur. Before installing the gateway, please dry the gateway to prevent the internal components from being damaged because of short circuit.

· As a best practice, remove the fan trays from the chassis. If you are not to remove the fan trays, do not hold the handle of a fan tray to move the gateway. Any attempt to carry the gateway by this part might cause equipment damage or even bodily injury.

· After you place the gateway on the slide rails, do not leave go of your hands immediately because this might tip the gateway, damaging the gateway or even causing bodily injury.

To mount the gateway in a rack:

1. Determine the cage nut installation holes according to the holes in the mounting brackets, as shown in Figure 5. Mark the cage nut installation holes on the front rack post.

The mounting brackets have been installed in the chassis. You can use other tools, such as a tape measure, to align the holes in the mounting brackets with the holes on the rack posts and mark the cage nut installation holes.

Figure 5 Marking cage nut installation holes (M9000-AI-E16 gateway)

2. Install cage nuts in the marked square holes on the front rack posts.

Figure 6 Installing the cage nuts

3. Align the rear of the chassis with the front of the rack.

4. Use multiple people (at least four people as a best practice) to lift the gateway by holding the chassis handles.

5. Place the gateway on the slide rails from front of the rack. Slide the gateway along the guide rails until the mounting brackets on the gateway come into contact with the front rack posts.

6. Use screws provided with the gateway to secure the gateway to the rack posts.

Figure 7 Mounting the gateway in a rack (M9000-AI-E16 gateway)

Installing an air filter and a top hood

IMPORTANT:

The M9000-AI-E16 gateway supports air filter doors. If you have ordered air filter doors, first install the air filter doors and then install an air filter and a top hood on the M9000-AI-E16 gateway.

Only the M9000-AI-E16 gateway supports air filters and top hoods.

To install an air filter and top hood:

1. Align the holes in the top hood with the pins on the mounting bracket. Push the top hood so that the pins enter the holes in the top hood.

2. Fasten the captive screws to secure the top hood.

Figure 8 Installing a top hood

3. Position the air filter over the top hood, and then push the air filter until it is seated into the top hood.

Figure 9 Installing an air filter

Grounding the gateway

CAUTION:

· Reliably grounding the gateway is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. Ground the gateway reliably with the grounding cable provided with the gateway.

· Connect the grounding cable to the earthing system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire main or lightning rod.

To ground the gateway:

1. Unpack the grounding cable.

2. Remove the grounding screws from the grounding holes at the rear of the chassis.

3. Use grounding screws to attach the two-hole grounding lug of the grounding cable to the chassis.

4. Connect the ring terminal of the grounding cable to a grounding post of the grounding strip, and fasten the grounding cable to the grounding strip with the hex nut.

Figure 10 Connecting the grounding cable to a grounding strip (M9000-AI-E16 gateway)

Installing cable management brackets

Installing cable management brackets for an M9000-AI-E8 gateway

The cable management brackets have been installed on the two sides of an M9000-AI-E8 gateway when the gateway is shipped. You only need to attach the cable guides to the cable management bracket.

Installing cable management brackets for an M9000-AI-E16 gateway
