Installation | Datacryptor Ethernet User Manual |
Airflow
Make sure that there is sufficient flow of air around the Datacryptor so that safe operation is not compromised. Maintain a clearance of at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) at the sides of the Datacryptor to ensure adequate air intake and exhaust. If installing in an enclosed rack, make sure the rack has adequate ventilation or an exhaust fan. An enclosed rack with a ventilation system that is too powerful can prevent proper cooling by creating negative air pressure around the Datacryptor.
Mechanical Loading
Keep the center of gravity in the rack as low as possible. This ensures that the weight of the Datacryptor will not make the rack unstable. Make sure that the rack is secured and use the proper mounting hardware to secure the Datacryptor to the rack.
Circuit Loading
Consider the connection of the Datacryptor to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Consult the voltage and amperage ratings on the UL label affixed to the unit’s rear panel when addressing this concern. As the 1 Gig and 10 Gig Ethernet units are fitted with two hot swappable power supply units, consideration could be given to these types of Datacryptors using a different supply phase for each of the power supply units.
Disconnection
Power disconnection is achieved by removal of the plugs from the mains outlet sockets. Ensure that the
Grounding
Maintain reliable grounding of a
Maintenance
Allow at least 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front of the rack for maintenance. Use a
Connect the Cables
Before beginning, make sure the necessary cables are available. See the Cabling Requirements section below for more information.
Cabling Requirements
The following table outlines the cabling requirements for each port on the Datacryptor Ethernet. The connector type listed indicates only what is required to connect to the Datacryptor’s port, and may or may not be the same connector type required for the other end of the cable.
