Environmental Requirements
See System Specifications on page 35 for complete environmental specifications.
Choose a location for the system that is dry, relatively dust free, well ventilated, and
air conditioned. If you install equipment in a rack, be sure that the floor is capable
of supporting the combined weight of the rack and the installed equipment. Place
the system in a location with sufficient access to power and network cables.
Like other network devices, the system generates a significant amount of heat. You
must provide a balanced environment so that the system performs properly and
safely. See System Specifications on page 35 for acceptable ranges of temperature
and humidity.
Be sure to allow enough space around the system for adequate ventilation. Inadequate
ventilation can cause the system to overheat.
CAUTION: Do not block the air vents on the system. Otherwise, the system might
overheat.
Regulatory Compliances
See System Specifications on page 35 for a complete list of regulatory compliance
requirements, including safety, EMC, and telecommunications.
