•6C105 configuration guidelines

•Operating specifications for the 6C105 enclosure and power supply modules

Only qualified personnel should install or service this unit.

2.1SITE GUIDELINES

The following guidelines must be followed when a site is selected for the 6C105. If the guidelines are not followed, unsatisfactory network performance may result.

•In order to allow proper cooling within the rack, there must be

3 inches of clearance above the unit and 2 inches of clearance on either side of the unit.

•If the 6C105 is to be placed on a shelving unit, the shelf must be able to support 75 pounds of static weight.

•If the 6C105 is to be rack mounted, care must be taken to ensure that the rack used will support the unit and that the rack remains stable with the 6C105 installed.

•The 6C105 ac power supplies require a standard three-pronged power receptacle that is located within 6 feet of the site.

•The temperature of the location must be maintained between 5° and 40°C (41° to 104°F). Temperature changes of greater than 10°C (18°F) per hour must not occur.

•The 6C205-2 DC power supply requires a 10 AWG solid copper conducter with #6 ring terminals.
