Considerations Before Installing

Consider the following items before installing equipment.

●The system is designed to operate in a typical environmentally controlled Telco environment. Choose an indoor area that has the following characteristics:

■Temperature- and humidity-controlled, such that the maximum ambient room temperature shall not exceed 40ºC (104ºF)

■Clean and free from airborne materials that can conduct electricity

■Well ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight

■Away from sources of vibration or physical shock

■Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices

■Secured, enclosed, and restricted-access, ensuring that only trained and qualified service personnel have access to the equipment

●Establish at least 3 inches clearance on all sides for effective ventilation. Do not obstruct the air intake vent on the front, side, or rear ventilation grills. Locate the system away from heat sources.

●Make sure that your equipment is placed in an area that accommodates the power consumption and component heat dissipation specifications.

●Make sure that your power supplies meet the site power or AC power requirements of the all network equipment.
