Selecting A Site
The chassis can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack or on a level surface
such as a sturdy bench. When installing the chassis, choose a site that:
■
allows adequate airflow around the chassis and its vents.
■
is free of dust and moisture.
■
will allow the chassis and its components to operate within a temperature
range of 0 to 40º C (32 to 104º F) and a humidity range of 5 to 95% non-
condensing.
■
has a reliable and earthed (grounded), preferably dedicated and filtered
power supply circuit.
■
does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise, such as radios,
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and
fluorescent fixtures.
■
allows easy access to the chassis’s power and cable connections.
■
will allow all related network devices to be connected to the chassis
without exceeding maximum cable length limitations. See the SwitchBlade
Hardware Reference
for cable length specifications.
