Installation Precautions
The router should already be in the area where you will install it, and your installation location
should already be determined. If not, see
Site Requirement Guidelines
(on page
4-3
) and the
Site
Preparation and Safety Guide
.
When installing the
SCE 2000
, please observe the following conditions:
•
Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance at its left and right sides for airflow clearance from
the inlet and exhaust vents, and that no exhaust air from other equipment is drawn into the
SCE 2000
. For descriptions and illustrations regarding air flow, see
Airflow
(on page
4-3
).
•
Do not place the
SCE 2000
on the floor during installation. Dust that accumulates on the floor
is drawn into the interior of the
SCE 2000
by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the
SCE
2000
can cause over-temperature conditions and component failures.
•
Allow at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the
SCE 2000
for
installing and rudimentary maintenance for accessing network cables or equipment.
•
Ensure that the
SCE 2000
will receive adequate ventilation. Do not install the
SCE 2000
in an
enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate!
•
Provide an adequate chassis Ground (earth) connection for the
SCE 2000
(see
Attaching a
Chassis Ground Connection
(on page
4-13
) for instructions).
