If you have purchased P/N 4200368L1, which includes the VPN Accelerator Card with the
NetVanta 3305, install the card before mounting the unit. Refer to Installing the NetVanta
VPN Accelerator Card (included in P/N 4200368L1) on page77.
• If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer.
• Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Allow 1-inch
clearance between units for sufficient air flow.
• Be careful not to compromise the stability of the equipment mounting rack when
installing this product.
• Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading the circuit might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
