Considerations Before Installing
Consider the following items before installing equipment.
●
The system is designed to operate in a typical environmentally controlled network
telecommunications facility. Choose an indoor area that has the following characteristics:
●
Temperature- and humidity-controlled, such that the maximum ambient room temperature shall
not exceed 40ºC (104ºF)
●
Clean and free from airborne materials that can conduct electricity.
●
Well ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight.
●
Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
●
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
●
Secured, enclosed, and restricted-access, ensuring that only trained and qualified service
personnel have access to the equipment.
●
Establish at least 3 inches clearance on all sides for effective ventilation. Do not obstruct the air
intake vent on the front, side, or rear ventilation grills. Locate the system away from heat sources.
●
Make sure that your equipment is placed in an area that accommodates the power consumption and
component heat dissipation specifications.
●
Make sure that your power supplies meet the site power or AC power requirements of all network
equipment.
