Installation Preparation
Site Environment
See
Hardware Specifications, on page 8
To avoid equipment failures and reduce the possibility of environmentally caused shutdowns, plan the site
layout and equipment locations carefully. If you are currently experiencing shutdowns or unusually high error
rates with your existing equipment, these considerations may help you isolate the cause of failures and prevent
future problems.
Site Considerations
Considering the following helps you plan an acceptable operating environment for the chassis, and avoid
environmentally-caused equipment failures.
• Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be adequate to cool equipment
• Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis is designed to allow cooling air to flow effectively
• Always follow ESD-prevention procedures to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge
Power Supply Considerations
See
Hardware Specifications, on page 8
When installing the chassis, consider the following:
• Check the power at the site before installing the chassis to ensure that it is free of spikes and noise. Install
• Install proper grounding for the site to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.
• The chassis does not have a user-selectable operating range. Refer to the label on the chassis for the
• Several styles of AC-input power supply cords are available for the chassis; make sure that you have the
