Site Configuration
The following precautions will help you plan an acceptable operating environment for your router and
will help you avoid environmentally caused equipment failures:
•
Ensure adequate air circulation in the room where your router operates. Electrical equipment
generates heat. Without adequate air circulation, ambient air temperature may not cool equipment
to acceptable operating temperatures.
•
To avoid damaging equipment, always follow the ESD-prevention procedures described in the
“Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” section on page 2-3
. Damage from static discharge
can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
•
Ensure that the chassis cover and module back panels are secure. All empty network module slots,
interface card slots, and power supply bays must have filler panels installed. The chassis is designed
to allow cooling air to flow within it through specially designed cooling slots. A chassis with
uncovered openings permits air leaks, which may interrupt and reduce the flow of air across internal
components.
Installation Checklist
The sample installation checklist lists items and procedures for installing a new router. Make a copy of
this checklist and record the information in each column as you complete each task. Include a copy of
the checklist for each router in your Site Log (described in the
“Creating a Site Log” section on
