Re: LD module mounting

[geraint@xxxxxxx]

I think it was Mark or Keith who mentioned the spacer issue to me a
while back, so maybe they could advise about the AD next to LD issue.
I would think it would still need a way of getting some heat out.

Don't forget, that if you put a switch for the unit in, that will
take up two spaces, then a 20 way actually fills up pretty quickly,
especially if you lose 2 or 3 spaces as coolers.

We always say when running Cat 5, whatever you think you need, double
it.
I think it may be good advice to do the same here.

I don't know how you are going to mount, but I find the flushmount
ones very unobtrusive.

I have photos of one of the 20 ways, complete with AD10's and LD10's,
if you want me to send, then it'll give you an idea, as it has the
main switch and two MCB's in also. Let me know, and i'll send when
home :)
