Selecting a Site for the Chassis
Observe the following requirements when choosing a site for the chassis:
ˆ If you plan to install the chassis in an equipment rack, check to be sure
that the rack is safely secured and that it will not tip over. Devices in a
rack should be installed starting at the bottom, with the heavier devices
near the bottom of the rack.
ˆ The chassis is heavy and requires two people to install it. For the
weight and dimensions of the chassis, see “Physical Specifications” on
page 101.
ˆ If you are installing the chassis on a table, be sure that the table is
level and secure.
ˆ The power outlet for the chassis should be located near the unit and
should be easily accessible.
ˆ The site should provide easy access to the ports both on the front and
the rear of the chassis. This arrangement will make it easy for you to
connect and disconnect cables as well as to view the LEDs.
ˆ To allow proper cooling of the chassis, air flow around the unit and
through its vents should be unrestricted. Allow 8 inches around the
rear of the chassis for proper airflow.
ˆ Do not place objects on top of the chassis.
ˆ Do not expose the chassis to moisture or water.
ˆ Make sure that the site is a dust-free environment.
ˆ Use dedicated power circuits or power conditioners to supply reliable
electrical power to the device.
