3.1. General Installation Guidelines

Follow these general guidelines when installing the NetWall 6000 Series appliance:

•

Safety

Take notice of the safety guidelines laid out in

Chapter 10, Safety Precautions

. These are

specified in multiple languages.

Caution: Noise levels can be elevated from fans

The NetWall 6000 Series can emit elevated levels of fan noise and caution should be
taken to protect hearing if spending periods of time in proximity to the appliance.

It is also recommended that the NetWall 6000 Series operates within an acoustically
contained area, such as a special computer room.

•

Power

Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded and then use the power cord
supplied with the appliance to connect it to the power source.

•

Using Other Power Cords

If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the appliance,
