Site Selection
The Spirent A2-400 appliance is a high-end network testing device that must be installed
in a dust free and dry environment with adequate airflow, power, and cooling.
•
The appliance is designed with front to rear airflow and both ventilation locations
must remain unobstructed for proper operation. Inadequate cooling or airflow can
result in an over-temperature situation that will cause an automatic system shutdown.
•
The appliance is designed to be mounted in a telecom-style 19" 4-post open rack.
•
The rack must be designed, and adequately secured, to accommodate the fully
loaded weight of the appliance and any other installed equipment.
•
It is not recommended to install the appliance in an enclosure unless it is
specifically designed to handle the airflow and cooling requirements.

for temperature and power requirements.
