All IP Office control units and external expansion modules can be rack mounted into standard 19" rack systems. Each unit requires a 2U slot space within the rack. Rack mounting requires a kit for each control unit and external expansion module.

Where systems are being rack mounted, the effect of conditions within the rack cabinet must be considered. For example, the rack temperature may be above the room temperature and airflow within the rack is restricted. The environmental requirements for the individual IP Office units are still applicable inside the rack cabinet.

•Each external expansion module is supplied with a blue 1 meter (3'3'') expansion interconnect cable. This cable must be used when connecting to expansion ports on the rear of a control unit.

•When connecting to expansion ports on an IP500 4-Port Expansion card, a supplied yellow 2 meter (6'6") expansion interconnect cable can be used in place of the supplied blue cable. 4 Yellow cables are supplied with the IP500 4-Port Expansion card.
