Chapter 4 Installation and Maintenance
Preparing to Install the SCE 2000 Platform
Site Requirement Guidelines
The environmental monitoring functionality in the SCE 2000 protects the system and components from potential damage from
Planning a proper location for the SCE 2000 and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet is essential for successful system operation. Equipment placed too close together or inadequately ventilated can cause system
Airflow
Figure 4-2: Airflow Through the SCE Platform
When you plan the location and layout of your equipment rack or wiring closet you need to consider how air flows though your system. The SCE 2000 draws cooling air in through the intake vents on the left side of the chassis, moves the air across the internal components, and out through the right side and rear panel of the chassis. The above figure illustrates the airflow through the SCE 2000.
Note Remember to leave a two inch (5 cm) clearance on both sides of the SCE 2000 and five inches (12.7 cm) at the rear for adequate airflow for the inlet and exhaust vents.
