Unpacking and Installing the Controller

Warning To prevent airflow restriction, allow clearance around the ventilation openings to be at least: 4 in (10.16 cm) Statement 1076

Make sure you can reach the controller and all cables attached to it.

Make sure that water or excessive moisture cannot get into the controller.

Make sure that the SFP and SFP+ Module Cable Specifications are met. Each port must match the wave-length specifications on each end of the cable, and the cable must not exceed the stipulated cable length. Copper 1000BASE-T SFP module transceivers use standard four twisted-pair, Category 5 cable at lengths up to 328 feet (100 meters).

Table 4 describes the SFP and SFP+ Module Cable Specifications.
