General Site Guidelines

The MX150 must be installed in a rack or cabinet. It must be housed in a dry, clean,
well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled environment.
Follow these environmental guidelines:
The site must be as dust-free as possible, because dust can clog air intake vents and
filters, reducing the efficiency of the device cooling system.
Maintain ambient airflow for normal operation of the device. If the airflow is blocked
or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, the device might overheat, leading to the
device temperature monitor shutting down the device to protect the hardware
components.
Table 10 on page 21
provides the required environmental conditions for normal operation
of the MX150.
Tolerance
No performance degradation up to 6000 feet (1828 meters) at 86° F (30° C)
Normal operation ensured in relative humidity range of 5% through 90%,
noncondensing
Normal operation ensured in temperature range of 32° F through 122° F (0° C
through 50° C)
Complies with Zone 4 earthquake requirements as per GR-63, Issue 4

Efficient device operation requires proper site planning and maintenance and proper
layout of the equipment, rack or cabinet (if used), and wiring closet.
To plan and create an acceptable operating environment for your device and prevent
environmentally caused equipment failures:
Keep the area around the chassis free from dust and conductive material, such as
metal flakes.
Follow prescribed airflow guidelines to ensure that the cooling system functions properly
and that exhaust from other equipment does not blow into the intake vents of the
device.
