2-2 Setting Up the System
Overview
This chapter describes how to select a site, unpack the system, make cable connections,
and power on the tower-based or rack-mount system units. Also, provided are the
instructions for assembling the rack-mount system unit.
Selecting a Site
The system operates reliably in a typical office environment.
Choose a site that is:
n
Near grounded, three-pronged power outlets.
Note
: For the United States and Canada, this means a NEMA 5-
15R outlets for 100-120 VAC or NEMA 6-15R outlets for 200-240
VAC. For other international sites, this means three-pronged power
outlets applicable for the electrical code of the region.
WARNING
Be sure the power service connection is through a properly
grounded outlet.
n
Clean, dust-free, and well ventilated. Front and rear ventilating openings kept
free of obstructions. Away from sources of heat, vibration or physical shock.
n Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and electrical noise produced by
electrical devices (such as air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors, radio
and TV transmitters, and high-frequency security devices)
n
Spacious enough to provide at least five inches (13 centimeters) behind the
system and three inches (eight centimeters) on each side of the system for proper
cooling, airflow, and cable clearance.
n
Easily accessible for system maintenance and installation of system upgrades.
Unpacking the System
WARNING
Your system weighs approximately 55 pounds (25 kg). If your system
contains numerous optional boards and peripheral devices, it will
weigh more. To avoid personal injury, make sure you have someone
help you lift or move the system.
