Wiring Closet Considerations
You should consider the following recommendations for your wiring closet:
●
Ensure that your system is easily accessible for installation and service. See “Rack Specifications and
Recommendations” on page 21 for information.
●
Use appropriate AC power, power distribution, and grounding for your specific installation.
●
Use a vinyl floor covering in your wiring closet. (Concrete floors accumulate dust, and carpets can
cause static electricity.)
●
Prevent unauthorized access to wiring closets by providing door locks. Install the equipment in a
secured, enclosed, and restricted-access area, ensuring that only qualified service personnel have
access to the equipment.
●
Provide adequate overhead lighting for easy maintenance.
●
Ensure that each wiring closet has a suitable ground. All distribution racks and equipment installed
in the closet should be grounded.
●
Ensure that all system environmental requirements are met, such as ambient temperature and
humidity.
NOTE
Extreme Networks recommends that you consult an electrical contractor for commercial building and wiring
specifications.
Temperature
Extreme Networks equipment generates a significant amount of heat. It is essential that you provide a
temperature-controlled environment for both performance and safety.
Install the equipment only in a temperature- and humidity-controlled indoor area that is free of airborne
materials that can conduct electricity. Too much humidity can cause a fire. Too little humidity can
produce electrical shock and fire.
The following are some general thermal recommendations for your wiring closet:
●
Ensure that the ventilation in the wiring closet is adequate to maintain a temperature below 104° F
(40° C).
●
Install a reliable air conditioning and ventilation system.
●
Keep the ventilation in the wiring closet running during non-business hours; otherwise, the
equipment can overheat.
●
Maintain ambient operating temperature: 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C).
●
Maintain storage temperature: -40° to 158° F (-40° to 70° C).
NOTE
Like all electrical equipment, product lifetimes degrade with increased temperature. If possible, temperatures should
be kept at approximately 78
° F (25 ° C) or lower.
