Site Guidelines
The following guidelines must be observed when a site is selected for the
Enterasys NAC Controller. If the guidelines are not followed, unsatisfactory network performance may result.
•To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating of the chassis in either the rackmounted or standalone configuration, there must be 5.1 centimeters (2 inches) of clearance on either side and in the rear of the unit.
•To install the Enterasys NAC Controller as a freestanding unit on a shelf, the shelf must be able to support 13.6 kilograms (30 pounds) of static weight.
•To install the Enterasys NAC Controller as a rackmounted unit, care must be taken to ensure that the rack used will support the unit and that the rack remains stable.
•The power supplies for the Enterasys NAC Controller require two three‐pronged power receptacles capable of delivering the current and voltage specified in “Power Supply” on page A‐2. Two ac outlets on independently fused circuits are required for each power supply, and must be located less than 2 meters (6 feet) from the site. The power cord used and type of outlet is dependent on the country. In the United States, two power cords with NEMA 5‐15P plugs are provided with each power supply.
•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.
