Installation and Setup
16 Epica DGX 32 Instruction Manual
Site Recommendations
When placing the enclosure, follow the recommendations and precautions in this section to reduce
potential installation and operation hazards.
Environment
Choose a clean, dust free, (preferably) air-conditioned location.
Avoid areas with direct sunlight, heat sources, or high levels of EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference).
Chassis Accessibility
Make sure the front and rear panels of the enclosure are accessible, so that you can monitor the Power
indicator LED on the front and the other LED indicators on the rear. Leaving adequate clearance at the
rear will also allow for easier cabling and service.
Power
Important: We recommend attaching all power cords to a surge protector (20 A) and/or an AC line
conditioner.
The source’s electrical outlet should be installed near the router, easily accessible, and properly
grounded. Power should come from a building branch circuit. We strongly recommend using a dedicated
line for the system’s power. Use a minimum breaker current rating of 20 A for 110 V or 10 A for 230 V.
To avoid an overload, note the power consumption rating of all the equipment connected to the circuit
breaker before applying power.
General Hazard Precautions
These recommendations address potential hazards that are common to all installations:
Elevated Operating Temperature
The maximum rated ambient temperature for Epica DGX 32 enclosures is 113° F (45° C).
All equipment should be installed in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum
rated ambient temperature. In a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than the ambient room temperature.
Caution: To protect the equipment from overheating, do not operate in an area that exceeds
113° F (45° C) and follow the clearance recommendation below for adequate airflow.
Airflow Restriction
Epica DGX 32 enclosures are designed to adequately dissipate the heat they produce under normal
operating conditions; however, this design is defeated when high heat producing equipment is placed
directly above or below an enclosure.
Caution: To prevent overheating, avoid placing high heat producing equipment directly above or
below the enclosure. The system requires a minimum of one empty rack unit above and below
(three empty rack units are recommended). Verify that the openings on the top and sides of the
enclosure are not blocked and do not have restricted air flow.
Mechanical (Rack) Loading
When installing equipment in a rack, distribute the weight to avoid uneven mechanical loading.
Note that the Epica DGX 32 weighs approximately 60 pounds (27.2 kg) fully loaded.
