Choosing a Physical Location
You can install the controller almost anywhere, but it is more secure and reliable if you install it in a secure equipment room or wiring closet. For maximum reliability, mount the controller while following these guidelines:
•Make sure you can reach the controller and all cables attached to it.
•Make sure that water or excessive moisture cannot get into the controller.
•Make sure that airflow through the controller is not obstructed. Leave at least 4 in. (10 cm) clear on both sides and rear of the controller.
•Verify that the ambient temperature remains between 32 to 104° F (0 to 40° C).
•Make sure that the controller is within 328 ft. (100 m) of equipment connected to the 10/100/1000 Mb/s Ethernet ports.
•Make sure that the power cord can reach a 100 to 240 VAC grounded electrical outlet.
