RMX® 1500 Installation &
Configuration Guide
General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
•Keep the area around the Polycom RMX® 1500 unit clean and free of clutter and well ventilated.
•Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the RMX, ensuring that it is near a grounded power outlet.
•Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them. Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
•In a single rack installation, attach stabilizers to the rack. In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the RMX from power surges and voltage spikes, and to keep it operating in the event of a power failure.
•Allow the power supply unit to cool before touching it.
•Always keep the rack’s trays and board’s closed when not servicing, to maintain proper cooling.
