Chapter 1 Unpacking and Installing the CSS

Preinstallation Requirements

Preinstallation Requirements

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 ambient operating 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 4 inches (10 cm) of air flow space on both sides of the chassis.

Ensure that the CSS is reliably grounded to earth. Cisco Systems recommends that you do not use power strips or extension cords to connect the CSS to the power source.

Caution To prevent the chassis from overheating, never install a CSS in an enclosed rack or in a room that is not properly ventilated or air conditioned.
