Planning and Preparation
The guidelines in the following sections will assist management and network administrators in planning
for the physical and network requirements of using an ExpressCard 2000 (EC2000). The most effective
way to ensure smooth installation of the EC2000 is to consider these factors before receiving the device.
3.1
Physical Installation Planning
The EC2000 must be installed on a flat, level surface capable of supporting the weight of the EC2000
plus the weight of a person leaning against it (such as a service technician). See
If the EC2000 is placed on a non-level surface, it will not work correctly.
Make sure the EC2000’s placement during normal operation will provide the physical clearances shown
around the sides in
(see
Appendix B Technical Specifications
spacing allows adequate cooling and will keep the rear cable connectors from crushing against the wall.
Figure 3-1 - Physical Clearance Space (Top View)
Make sure the EC2000’s position during maintenance and insertion of consumables will provide the
physical clearances shown in
. In general, the installation location must allow users to:
Use the touchscreen on the front
Press the power button
Access the card output hopper
Open the top access door and reach into the device to replace consumables and perform general
maintenance
Access the rear of the device for the power connector, Ethernet connector, and security anchor.
