Where the Internet Server fits in the Network
The Internet Server must always be placed between the
device that is used to connect to the Internet (called the
Internet Gateway in this guide) and the rest of your
network. You connect to your network through a hub or
switch.
Positioning the Unit
When installing your Internet Server, ensure:
■
It is installed horizontally.
■
It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.
■
Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting
fixtures, and sources of electrical noise such as radios,
transmitters and broadband amplifiers.
■
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
■
Ensure that the airvents are not obstructed and that air
flow around the unit and to the fan in the rear of the
case is not restricted. 3Com recommends you provide a
minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance.
For security reasons, 3Com recommends that you install the
Internet Server in a locked room or cupboard where it
cannot be tampered with. 3Com also recommends that, if
possible, you connect the Internet Server to an
Uninterruptable Power Supply to maintain services in the
event of a mains power failure.
