Electrical safety
Use the following best practices to ensure that your environment has the correct
electrical setup.
■
Verify proper grounding for the main AC power supply.
■
Overcurrent and overload protection must be available for the entire system.
■
The circuits and the associated circuit breakers must provide enough power
and overload protection.
■
Separate the power supply from other large distribution loads or engines to
prevent possible damage to the appliance. Examples of systems that have a
large power draw include air-conditioners, elevators, or factory machines.

Heat dissipation
This section describes heat dissipation requirements of the appliance and the
storage shelf. Before installing the devices, check whether the heat dissipation on
site satisfies the conditions for proper running of the device. For optimal
maintenance, ventilation, and heat dissipation, pay attention to the following when
installing the appliance and the storage shelf into the rack cabinet.
■
For proper ventilation, the rack cabinet should be at least 100 cm (4 ft) away
from surrounding walls and at least 120 cm (4 ft) away from any other cabinet(s).
■
To keep a convective air flow between the cabinet and the equipment room,
ensure there are no obstructions on all sides of the cabinet.
The applince takes in air from the front panel and circulates the air through the
system. Fans discharge air from the rear of the appliance. Air flows from front to
rear. The optional bezel can be installed on the front panel without any reduction
in air movement.
Checking the shipping packages
Before unpacking devices, check that the packages are intact and undamaged.
The appliance package should include the following items:
■
The appliance
■
Mounting rails for the appliance
■
Snap-in screw locks for attaching the appliance to the rack
