Wiring Closet Considerations

Be aware of the following recommendations for your wiring closet:

●Be sure that your system is easily accessible for installation and service. See “Rack Specifications and Recommendations” on page 58 for information.

●Use appropriate AC or DC power, power distribution, and grounding for your specific installation.

●Use a vinyl floor covering in your wiring closet. (Concrete floors accumulate dust, and carpets can cause static electricity.)

●Prevent unauthorized access to wiring closets by providing door locks. Install the equipment in a secured, enclosed, and restricted access location, ensuring that only qualified service personnel have access to the equipment.

●Provide adequate overhead lighting for easy maintenance.

●Be sure that each wiring closet has a suitable ground. All distribution racks and equipment installed in the closet should be grounded.

●Be sure that all system environmental requirements are met, such as ambient temperature and humidity.

NOTE

Extreme Networks recommends that you consult an electrical contractor for commercial building and wiring specifications.

Temperature

Extreme Networks equipment generates a significant amount of heat. It is essential that you provide a temperature-controlled environment for both performance and safety.

Install the equipment only in a temperature- and humidity-controlled indoor area that is free of airborne materials that can conduct electricity. Too much humidity can cause a fire. Too little humidity can produce electrical shock and fire.

Follow these general thermal recommendations for your wiring closet:

●Be sure that the ventilation in the wiring closet is adequate to maintain a temperature below 104° F (40° C).

●Install a reliable air conditioning and ventilation system.

●Keep the ventilation in the wiring closet running during non-business hours; otherwise, the equipment can overheat.

●Maintain an ambient operating temperature of 32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C).

●Maintain a storage temperature of -40° to 158° F (-40° to 70° C).
