Site Guidelines
The following guidelines must be followed when a site is selected for the Matrix X16‐C. If these guidelines are not followed, network performance may be unsatisfactory.
•To allow proper cooling, allow 7.62 centimeters (3 inches) of clearance above the chassis and 5.08 centimeters (2 inches) of clearance on either side of it.
•Either six or three fans may be installed in the
•Ensure that the rack used to install the Matrix X16‐C can support the unit and that the rack remains stable.
•The AC power supplies for the Matrix X Router chassis require three‐pronged power receptacles capable of delivering the current and voltage specified in “Power Supply Requirements, Specifications, and Twist Lock Options” on page A‐2. One 20‐Amp, earth‐ grounded AC outlet on independently‐fused circuits is required for each power supply, and must be located within 182 centimeters (6 feet) from the site. Power cords and outlet types are country‐specific. In the United States, three power cords with NEMA 5‐20P plugs are provided separately.
•Ambient temperature at the installation site must be maintained between 5° and 40°C (41° to 104°F). Temperature changes must be maintained within 10°C (18°F) per hour.
