Site Selection
The Spirent B2-800 appliance is a high-end network testing device that must be installed
in a dust free and dry environment with adequate airflow, power, and cooling.
•
The appliance is designed with front to rear airflow and both ventilation locations
must remain unobstructed for proper operation. Inadequate cooling or airflow can
result in an over-temperature situation that will cause an automatic system shutdown.
•
The appliance is designed to be mounted in a Telecom-style 19" 4-post open rack.
•
The rack must be designed, and adequately secured, to accommodate the fully
loaded weight of the appliance and any other installed equipment.
•
It is not recommended to install the appliance in an enclosure unless it is
specifically designed to handle the airflow and cooling requirements.

for temperature and power requirements.

Operating requirements:
–
50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C) when using QSFP-DD800 transceivers rated up to
15W of type 2A with a transceiver case temperature thermal limit of 70C.
When using QSFP-DD800 transceivers dissipating 30W of type 2A with a
thermal limit of 70C, the maximum operating temperature is 68° F (20° C);
10% to 80% relative humidity (non-condensing). The minimum operating
temperature is 41 ° F (5° C).
