Emprise 7000 Installation and Service Guide 7
Choosing a Location
Use the following guidelines for choosing a proper location for the Emprise system:
•
For optimum air flow and access to system components, choose a location that provides
a minimum of three feet of clearance in the front and the back of the Emprise system.
•
Locate the system in a secure and low traveled area where it will not be bumped.
•
Keep the Emprise system in a clean, dust-free, and smoke-free environment.
•
Provide a climate-controlled environment for the Emprise system. The system will
operate at temperatures from 50-95°F (10-35°C), with relative humidity from 20-80
percent.
•
Make sure the location has the proper AC outlet as described in “Power Considerations”
on page 9.
Best Practice:
To ensure that the internal heat build up is properly dissipated into the room
environment, air flow should not be restricted. Do not block any air vents and
make sure the system is a minimum of one meter from walls or partitions. Air
flows through an Emprise system from front to rear.
Caution:
Installing Emprise components in a rack without sufficient air flow can be
unsafe. Install equipment in the rack in such a way that forced air cooling the
equipment does not compromise safety.
Caution:
Install the Emprise system in a location with restricted access to prevent data
loss and/or equipment damage caused by tampering.
