Nortel Networks 114200-E manual Installing the ARN, Verifying Site Requirements

Installing the ARN

Verifying Site Requirements

The installation site must provide a certain amount of free space around the ARN to dissipate heat, as detailed in Table 1-1.

Table 1-1.	Installation Space Requirements
Width		Depth (minimum)	Depth (for servicing)
22.5 in. (57.2 cm)		15 in. (38.1 cm)	25 in. (63.5 cm)

In addition, the installation site must meet the electrical and environmental specifications listed in Appendix C.

Caution: You must use grounded electrical power outlets with the ARN.

Installing the ARN

When you are ready to install the ARN in its final location, you have two options:

•Position the ARN on a flat, sturdy, horizontal surface.

•Mount the ARN in an electronic enclosure rack.

Positioning the ARN on a Flat Surface

When positioning the ARN on a flat surface, make sure that the surface is:

•Large enough for the ARN to operate properly (Table 1-1)

•Sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the ARN and any cables that you connect

You should place the self-adhesive, rubber feet (shipped with the ARN) on the bottom of the ARN chassis. These feet not only protect the surface on which you position the ARN, they provide added friction against the weight of any cables that you attach to the device.
