General Site Requirements

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.

•Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components. Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground ESD voltages. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

•For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

General Site Requirements

The topics in this section describe the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and operation of your system. Ensure that your site is properly prepared before beginning installation.

This section includes the following topics:

•Site Environment, page 2-3

•Preventive Site Configuration, page 2-3

•Power Supply Considerations, page 2-4

•Configuring Equipment Racks, page 2-4

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. Equipment placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause system malfunctions and shutdowns, and can make the chassis maintenance difficult.

For information on physical specifications, see table 7 at the following url:

When planning the site layout and equipment locations, keep in mind the precautions described in the next section “Preventive Site Configuration, page 2-3,” 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:
