Chapter 2 Preparing to Install WLSE 1130-19 Hardware

Preparing Your Site for Installation

Use the following precautions when planning the operating environment for your WLSE.

Always follow the ESD-prevention procedures described in the “Preventing EMI” section on page 2-7to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.

Make sure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis is designed to allow cooling air to flow effectively within it. An open chassis allows air leaks, which could interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from internal components.

Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Make sure that the room in which you operate has adequate air circulation.

Choosing a Site for Installation

Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Choose a site with a dry, clean, well-ventilated and air-conditioned area.

Choose a site that maintains an ambient temperature of 10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F).

Grounding the System

Warning Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
