# Installation

## Rack Mounting and Ventilation

The Axia Router Control Panels are designed to be used at ambient air temperatures between 0 to 40 degrees Celsius (32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit) and a relative humidity of 0 to 98% non-condensing.

Router Control Panels are contained in a “1U” (rack unit) 19” rack-mount enclosure. The systems do not contain cooling fans, only convection cooling is available. Always leave a blank rack space above your Router Control Panels. Do not place the panels on bedding, carpet or other materials where the ventilation openings could be blocked. Do not block the ventilation openings on the top and sides of the unit.

## Power

The Axia Router Control Panels are powered through PoE (Power over Ethernet). If you have an Ethernet switch that supplies PoE, connecting the control panel to it will power up the panel.
