•
The specified operating temperature of the eXmux 3500 is -30
°
C to +65
°
C

°
F). Operation at higher temperatures may affect system reliability and
performance. Systems installed in enclosed cabinets should be well ventilated.
A full 1U of
chassis space must be left open above the installed eXmux 3500.
•
Before proceeding with the connection of power to the eXmux 3500 ensure that the main and
redundant power switches on the rear of the eXmux are in the “OFF” position, and that the
power wires to be installed are disconnected at their source.
•
All relay contacts are labeled in the de-energized position.
•
Ensure that the power supply(ies) installed in your eXmux 3500 will operate at the
available input power.
•
Follow all of your company’s policies and procedures regarding the installation of AC powered
or DC powered equipment. If there is a conflict between any procedure in this Quick Start
Guide and your company’s safety rules, then your company’s safety rules must take priority.
CAUTION
Any installation using an enclosed cabinet with a swing-out rack must be securely fastened to the
floor. This will prevent the cabinet from falling forward when the rack is moved outward.
