Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation

General Site Requirements

Site Environment

Place the chassis on a desktop or mount it on a rack. The location of the chassis and the layout of the equipment rack or wiring room are extremely important for proper system operation. Placing equipment too close together with inadequate ventilation and inaccessible panels can cause system malfunctions and shutdowns. Improper placement can also make it difficult for you to access the chassis for maintenance.

For information about physical specifications, see the “Hardware Specifications” section on page 1-15.

When planning the site layout and equipment locations, keep in mind the precautions described in the next section “Preventive Site Configuration, page 2-4,” to help avoid equipment failures and reduce the possibility of environmentally caused shutdowns. If you are currently experiencing shutdowns or unusually high error rates with your existing equipment, these precautions may help you isolate the cause of failures and prevent future problems.

Preventive Site Configuration

The following precautions will help plan an acceptable operating environment for the chassis and avoid environmentally caused equipment failures:

•Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Ensure that the room in which you operate your system has adequate air circulation.

•Always follow the ESD-prevention procedures described previously to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.

•Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis is designed to allow cooling air to flow effectively within it. An open chassis allows air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from the internal components.

Power Supply Considerations

Observe the following considerations:

•Check the power at the site before installing the chassis to ensure that the power is “clean” (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner, if necessary, to ensure proper voltages and power levels in the source voltage.

•Install proper grounding for the site to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.

•The ASA chassis does not have a user-selectable operating range. Refer to the label on the chassis for the correct AC-input power requirement.

•Several styles of AC-input power supply cords are available; make sure that you have the correct style for your site.

•Install an uninterruptible power source for your site, if possible.

You also need to provide power to the switch with the appropriate AC power cord for your location. Table 2-1lists the power cords that are used with the AC power supply.
