Safety Considerations Before Installing
Before installing the equipment, consider the following:
•
For equipment designed to operate in a typical Telco environment that is environmentally controlled,
choose an indoor area that has the following characteristics:
•
Temperature-controlled and humidity-controlled, such that the maximum ambient room
temperature shall not exceed the temperature specified in the product data sheet
•
Clean and free from airborne materials that can conduct electricity
•
Well ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight
•
Away from sources of vibration or physical shock
•
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices
•
Secured, enclosed, and restricted-access, ensuring that only trained and qualified service
personnel have access to the equipment
•
For equipment designed to be installed in environments that are not environmentally controlled,
such as outdoor enclosures, see the product data sheet or
Technical Specifications
on page 91 for
environmental conditions, temperature, and humidity.
•
Establish at least 3 inches (8 cm) clearance on all sides for effective ventilation. Do not obstruct air
intake vents or ventilation grills on the front, side, or rear panel. Locate the system away from heat
sources.
•
Make sure that your equipment is placed in an area that accommodates the power consumption and
component heat dissipation specifications.
•
Make sure that your power supplies meet the site DC power or AC power requirements of all the
network equipment.
•
Racks for Extreme Networks equipment must be permanently attached to the floor. Failure to
stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over when the equipment is removed for servicing.
•
Do not operate the system unless all modules, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Blank faceplates and cover panels are required for the following functions:
•
Preventing exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the equipment
•
Containing electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment
•
Directing the flow of cooling air through the equipment
•
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
General Safety Precautions
To avoid injury and damage to the equipment, follow these safety guidelines.
•
Do not try to lift objects that you think are too heavy for you.
•
When you install equipment in a rack, load heavier devices in the lower half of the rack first to avoid
making the rack top-heavy.
