Note:
When two Acme Packet 1100s are configured for high availability, ensure that the
power for each device is on a separate circuit. If both supplies are connected to
outlets on the same circuit, the Acme Packet 1100 loss of power to that circuit
results in a loss of all data and voice connections.
Mounting Guidelines
When preparing to install your Acme Packet 1100, please follow these guidelines:
•
Leave enough clearance (approximately 8” (20 cm)) in the rear of the equipment rack to
allow for sufficient airflow and for ease in cabling and/or servicing the rear panel.
•
Do not block the air inlets or the fan module, or obstruct airflow to the system in any way.
•
Position equipment to allow for serviceability. This will aid in chassis removal, and
prevent the need to remove or loosen other equipment in the rack.
•
Remember that the Ethernet interfaces are limited to 328 feet/ 100 meters as defined by the
FAST Ethernet standard, IEEE 802.3.
Other Safety Guidelines
When preparing to install your Acme Packet 1100:
•
Ensure that the equipment rack is securely bolted to the floor, and that the equipment rack
and components are properly grounded.
•
For AC power installations, use a regulating UPS to protect the Acme Packet 1100 from
power surges, voltage spikes, and power failures.
•
For AC power installations, ensure that your UPS can supply power for enough time to
save your system data and shut down the system gracefully.
Mounting Hardware
The Acme Packet 1100 features four non-skid rubber feet that allow the unit to be installed
securely either on a table top or on a shelf.
