MergePoint Service Processor Manager SP53XX Installer/User Guide
• Route interface cables away from motors and other sources of magnetic or radio
frequency interference.
• Stay within specified cable length limitations.
• Leave enough space in front and back of the equipment to allow access for servicing.
When installing Avocent equipment in a rack or cabinet, observe the following precautions:
• Ensure that the floor’s surface is level.
• Load equipment starting at the bottom first and fill the rack or cabinet from the bottom to
the top.
• Exercise caution to ensure that the rack or cabinet does not tip during installation and use an
anti
-
tilt bar.
When using a desk or table, observe the following precautions:
• Choose a desk or table sturdy enough to hold the equipment.
• Place the equipment so that at least 50% of the equipment is inside the table or desk’s leg
support area to avoid tipping of the table or desk.
Rack mount safety considerations
• Elevated Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Use care not to exceed
the rated maximum ambient temperature of the switch.
• Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of
airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings for maximum current.
• Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Pay
particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit
(for example, use of power strips).
Cabling installation, maintenance and safety tips
The following is a list of important safety considerations that should be reviewed prior to installing
or maintaining your cables:
• Keep all CAT 5 runs to a maximum of 10 meters each.
• Maintain the twists of the pairs all the way to the point of termination, or no more than one half
inch untwisted. Do not skin off more than one inch of jacket while terminating.
• If bending the cable is necessary, make it gradual with no bend sharper than a one inch radius.
Allowing the cable to be sharply bent or kinked can permanently damage the cable’s interior.
