Preparing the Site

Be sure to observe the following guidelines when planning the installation
of your chassis.

ˆ

Make sure power for the chassis is accessible and cables can be
easily connected.

ˆ

Cables must be away from sources of electrical noise such as radios,
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, fluorescent or halogen
light fixtures.

ˆ

Air flow around the chassis and through its vents on the rear and side
panels should not be restricted.

ˆ

If you are using the chassis on a desktop, make sure it is placed on a
level, secure surface.

ˆ

Do not place objects on top of the chassis.

ˆ

Do not expose the chassis to moisture or water.

ˆ

Make sure the chassis is in a dust-free environment.

ˆ

Use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to supply reliable
electrical power to the network devices.
