Installing the CSS 11050 or CSS 11150

The CSS 11050 or CSS 11150 can be placed on a flat surface as a free-standing unit or rack-mounted in an equipment cabinet. The following sections describe the steps to install the CSS as a:

•Free-standing unit

•Rack-mounted unit

Prior to installing the CSS, observe the following installation requirements:

•The ambient operating temperature is 32° to 104° F (0 to 40° C).

If you install the CSS in a closed or multi-unit rack, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Ensure that the temperature does not exceed the CSS maximum ambient operating temperature.

•The minimum clearance requirement is 2 inches (10 cm) of air flow space on both sides of the chassis.

•Ensure that the CSS is reliably grounded to earth. We recommend that you do not use power strips or extension cords to connect the CSS to the power source.

Caution Do not remove the CSS 11050 or CSS 11150 cover. There are electrical shock hazards present in the unit if the cover is removed. There are no serviceable or installable components available with the CSS 11050 and CSS 11150.

Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong electrical adapter. This will compromise the grounding.

Note Removing the CSS 11050 or CSS 11150 cover voids its warranty.
