 Unit Installation NetVanta 6240/6250 Series HIG

Mounting Options
The unit may be installed in rackmount, wallmount, or tabletop configurations. The following sections provide
step-by-step instructions for rack mounting and wall mounting.

Rack Mounting the NetVanta

The NetVanta is a 1U-high, rack-mountable unit that can be installed into 19-inch or 23-inch equipment racks.
The following steps guide you in mounting the NetVanta into a rack.

ADTRAN recommends 1U (1.75 inches) of separation above and below the

NetVanta 6240/6250 Series unit. This spacing allows the unit to dissipate heat. The design
of the NetVanta 6240/6250 Series uses the chassis to distribute heat generated by the unit’s
internal cards. This design allows the unit to operate without a cooling fan, ensuring the
overall reliability of the unit.

• 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 specified by the manufacturer.
• Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Be careful not to compromise the stability of the equipment mounting rack when
installing this product.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading the circuit might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable grounding 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).

Instructions for Rack Mounting the NetVanta

Step Action

1 Attach universal rackmount brackets in the appropriate (either 19-inch or 23-inch) position using
the supplied screws.

2 To allow proper grounding, scrape the paint from the rack around the mounting holes where the
NetVanta will be positioned.

3 Position the NetVanta in a stationary equipment rack allowing 1U space above the unit for
ventilation.

4 Have an assistant hold the unit in position as you install two mounting bolts through the unit’s
brackets and into the equipment rack using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.

5 Apply power to the unit (refer to Supplying Power to the Unit on page 27 or Supplying DC Power
to the NetVanta 6250 on page 27 as appropriate).

 NetVanta 6240/6250 Series HIG Unit Installation

Wall Mounting the NetVanta

By following these instructions exactly, the NetVanta can be safely mounted on the wall.

• To avoid damaging the unit, use only the screws included in the shipment when
attaching mounting ears to the chassis.
• When wall mounting the NetVanta, care must be taken not to damage the power cord.
Do not attach the power cord to the building surface or run it through walls, ceilings.
floors, or openings in the building structure.
• The socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.

Instructions for Wall Mounting the NetVanta

Step Action

1 Attach the rack mounting brackets rotated 90 degrees so the rackmount tab (two screw holes)
is parallel with the unit. Reattach the mounting ears to the chassis (see Figure 5 on page 26).

2 Decide on a location for the NetVanta, keeping in mind that the unit needs to be mounted at or
below eye-level so that the LEDs are viewable.

Warning! The NetVanta 6240/6250 can only be wall mounted with the front panel facing to the
right, to the left, or downward (see the example in Figure 5 on page 26). Do not mount with
the LED facing up.

3 Prepare the mounting surface by attaching a board (typically plywood, 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick)
to a wall stud using #6 to #10 (2.5-inch or greater in length) wood screws.

Important! Mounting to a stud ensures stability. Using sheetrock anchors may not provide
sufficient long-term stability.

4 Have an assistant hold the unit in position as you install two #6 to #10 (1-inch or greater in
length) wood screws through the unit’s brackets and into the mounted board (see Figure 5 on
page 26).

5 Proceed to the steps given in Supplying Power to the Unit on page 27 or Supplying DC Power
to the NetVanta 6250 on page 27 (NetVanta 6250 only) as appropriate.
