Preparing the installation site
Before installing the Cisco TelePresence Conductor:
n
Ensure that the Cisco TelePresence Conductor is accessible and that all cables can be easily
connected.
n
Ensure that the power outlet is near to the Cisco TelePresence Conductor and is easily accessible.
n
To ensure adequate ventilation, leave a space of at least 10cm (4 inches) behind the unit’s rear
panel and 10cm (4 inches) in front of the front panel.
l
The Cisco TelePresence Conductor has side air intakes and rear air exhaust. A check should
be made to ensure there is sufficient ventilation, particularly at the sides.
l
Ensure that other devices are not exhausting directly into the air intake on the Cisco
TelePresence Conductor. Note that Codian MCU airflow is from right to left, so be especially
careful if racking them to the right of Cisco TelePresence Conductor.
