Main unit and expansion cabinet installation
You typically install the main unit and expansion cabinets in the same manner. Make sure you
install the expansion cabinets close enough to the main unit so you can connect the supplied 5 m
(16 ft) expansion cable between the expansion cabinet and main unit.
Nortel provides three methods of installing the BCM450 units:
• rack-mount
•wall-mount
• desktop-mount
For more information, see Nortel Business Communications Manager 450 Installation—System
(NN40170-303).
Rack-mount installation
You can install a BCM main unit in a standard 19-inch equipment rack along with your other
networking and telecommunications equipment. The BCM expansion cabinet installs in a similar
manner to the main units.
Caution: To keep the BCM450 system operating at the optimal internal temperature,
keep the top, sides, and rear clear of obstructions and away from the exhaust of other
equipment.
Do not place any objects on top of a main unit.
