Data communications equipment is sensitive to variations in voltage supplied
by AC power supplies. Overvoltage, undervoltage, or transients can interfere
with data integrity and may damage your equipment.
CAUTION
To protect against these voltage-related problems, power cables
should be properly grounded and the following power management methods
should be employed:
•
Use power protection devices. Various levels of protection can be
achieved by the use of surge protectors, line conditioners, and
uninterruptible power supplies.
•
Place the equipment on a dedicated circuit.
•
If a blackout occurs while your equipment is turned on, immediately
turn off the system (if the unit is equipped with a power switch) and
disconnect it from the power source. Leaving the system on and
plugged in under these power conditions may damage the equipment
when power is restored.
•
Turn off the equipment and unplug it during lightning storms.
Spatial Requirements
The repeater's dimensions are 1.75 x 17.4 x 8.3 inches, 4.5 x 44.8 x 21.3
centimeters (HxWxD). When you set the repeater on a level surface, allow at
least 2 inches (5.1 cm) on each side of the repeater for proper air circulation.
Rack-Mounting the Repeater
To rack-mount one or more repeaters, follow these steps:
1. Before you install any repeater, secure the rack to the floor, another rack,
or the wall.
2. Turn the repeater over so that the bracket slots are easily accessible.
