28 | Installing and Configuring the SteelHead
Preparing your site for installation
• One serial null-modem cable
• One or two power cables (depending on your order)
Aside from country-specific requirements, all systems ship with the same power cable. The power
cable has an IEC 60320 C13 plug on one end (to connect to the SteelHead) and a country-specific
plug that fits the wall socket for that country. If a system has two power supplies, it ships with two
suitable cables.
You must always connect the SteelHead using either the cable in the accessories box or another
cable that is approved for use by the IEC in the country in which the appliance is connected.
You can’t connect a SteelHead directly to multiphase outlets. You must use a rack PDU or power
strip that provides the appropriate three-prong outlet (hot/neutral/ground). For details, go to

• One Phillips-head screwdriver

• Documentation kit

Site requirements
Before you install the SteelHead, make sure that your site meets these requirements:
• It’s a standard electronic environment where the ambient temperature doesn’t exceed 40°C (104°F)
and the relative humidity doesn’t exceed 80% (noncondensing). For detailed information, see the
appendixes that follow.
• Ethernet connections are available within the standard Ethernet limit.
• There’s available space on a two-post or four-post 19-inch rack. For details about installing the
SteelHead to a rack, see the
Rack Installation Guide or the printed instructions that were shipped
with the system.
• A clean power source is available, dedicated to computer devices and other electronic equipment.
• The rack is a standard 19-inch Telco-type mounting rack.
Note: We recommend that you use a four-post mounting rack for 2U and 3U systems.
Note: If your rack requires special mounting screws, contact your rack manufacturer.
