Chapter 3 — System and site requirements

Before you install the Option 11C Mini system, make sure that the site meets all environmental, grounding, power, and cross-connect terminal requirements.

Environmental requirements

The environment in which the Meridian 1 Option 11C Mini system operates must meet the following general conditions:

Make sure that the room is clean and well ventilated. Each chassis can dissipate up to 370 Watts of power. There must be enough ventilation in the equipment room to maintain the temperature at an acceptable level.

For installed chassis, maintain the temperature between 0° and 45° C (32° and 113° F).

Maintain the humidity between 5% and 95% non-condensing.

Select a location for installing the equipment that is not subject to constant vibration.

Locate the equipment at least 12 ft (3660 mm) away from sources of electrostatic, electromagnetic, or radio frequency interference. These sources can include:

power tools

appliances (such as vacuum cleaners)

office business machines (such as copying machines)

all electric motors
