Wave Server Installation Guide
Mounting the Wave Server
The Wave IP 2500 Server can be rack mounted, wall 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 base unit 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 base unit, 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 IP 2500 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 base unit 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 base
unit in place as you continue.)
