Pre-Installation Checklist
Use the following checklist when preparing to install the system. System specifications, including
capacities are included in the Specifications chapter. System descriptions appear in the Product
Description chapter.
Establishing Suitable Environmental Conditions for the System
Follow these guidelines to establish suitable environmental conditions for the system:
• Locate the chassis within 5 ft (1.5 m) of an isolated, dedicated, 105–125 VAC, 57–63 Hz, 15 A,
single-phase commercial power source. Also, use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with
the Mitel 5000 chassis.
• Select the chassis location to minimize cable run length.
• Do not expose the chassis to direct sunlight, high humidity, heat, dust, or strong magnetic fields
(such as those generated by heavy motors and large copy machines).
• The MDF requires a ¾-inch (2 cm) plywood backboard for mounting system equipment, periph -
erals, and distribution blocks. Usually, a board measuring 4 ft × 6 ft (1.2 m × 1.8 m) provides
sufficient space. However, a larger backboard may be required for mounting multip le AC
transformers, IP SLAs, or other system-related devices.
• Provide ample air space around the chassis. Do not place or store items on top of the chassis.
• Install a UPS with the CS controller.
• Locate the equipment in a climate-controlled room. Mitel recommends that the maximum oper
-
ating temperature (as stated below)
never
be exceeded. Therefore, when installing the chassis
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Not following these suggestions could result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE
The system must be connected to an isolated, dedicated AC circuit. Power, neutral, and ground
wires must run separately from the outlet to the breaker panel without being bonded to any other
wire or circuit.
• Do
not
plug any other equipment into this outlet. To maintain the protection provided by the
isolated, dedicated circuit, the AC power cord length limits the distance between the power
supply and the outlet.
• Do
not
use an extension cord.
Do
not
defeat (or leave floating) the ground wire in the AC power cord. To protect the system from
AC voltage surges, install a surge/spike protector having the specifications cited on page 62 .
