Environmental Requirements & Specifications
B.1
Safety Requirements
Install the system in accordance with the local safety codes and regulations at the facility
site. Follow all cautions and instructions marked on the equipment.
B.2
Site Requirements and Guidelines
The following sections provide requirements and guidelines that you must address when
preparing your site for the installation.
When selecting an installation site for the system, choose a location not subject to excessive
heat, direct sunlight, dust, or chemical exposure. These conditions greatly reduce the
system’s longevity and might void your warranty.
B.2.1
Site Wiring and AC Power Requirements
The following are required for all installations using AC power supplies:
.
• All AC mains and supply conductors to power distribution boxes for the rack-mounted
system must be enclosed in a metal conduit or raceway when specified by local,
national, or other applicable government codes and regulations.
• Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source match the voltage and
frequency inscribed on the equipment’s electrical rating label.
• To ensure redundancy, provide two separate power sources for the enclosures. These
power sources must be independent of each other, and each must be controlled by a
separate circuit breaker at the power distribution point.
• The system requires voltages within minimum fluctuation. The customer-supplied
facilities’ voltage must maintain a voltage with not more than
±
5 percent fluctuation.
The customer facilities must also provide suitable surge protection.
• Site wiring must include an earth ground connection to the AC power source. The
supply conductors and power distribution boxes (or equivalent metal enclosure) must
be grounded at both ends.
