Airflow Requirements
Under some conditions, the ambient air temperature inside rack-mount cabinets can be greater that the ambient
temperature within a room. For safe long term reliability, ensure the ambient air temperatures at the AG 4800X/XS
frame front intake area are within the product’s specified operating temperature range. Adequate ventilation within
a rack frame must also be maintained. Ensure to adhere to the following clearance recommendations:
•
Minimum 2” (5.08cm) clearance both right and left-hand side of the chassis sides with unrestricted vertical airflow.
•
Minimum 5” (12.7cm) clearance at the chassis rear with unrestricted vertical airflow.
Installation Requirements
Keep the following in mind when installing your AG 4800X/XS frame:
•
Install the frame for maximum stability during operation and in such a way as to allow adequate ventilation.
•
The frame cannot be sealed in a closed container and must be installed in free air space where the ambient temperature
is monitored and controlled to not exceed 40°C (104°F) at the frame front door airflow intake.
•
Ensure that adequate space exists in front and behind the frame and on both sides of the frame for airflow exhaust.
•
The location of the frame should be accessible, dry, and dust-free.
Connecting to a Power Supply
The AG 4800X/XS comes standard with one power supply, with a second optional power supply (AG 4800X-OPT-
1) available for redundancy. For redundancy, and in applications where the equipment is used in a critical signal
path, we recommend that two power supplies be used in the AG 4800X/XS. One A/C power cable has been
provided with each power supply ordered.
For further redundancy, each power cord should be connected to a separate power source for protection against
failure of the A/C power circuit. In the event of one power supply failure, the frame load is seamlessly transferred to
the other redundant power supply. Although the power supply is “hot-swappable” turning the power supply off
before inserting or removing it from the frame will increase the life span of the connectors.
