ERX 7.0.x Hardware Guide

Environmental Requirements

Refer to "System Specifications" on page 113 for complete
environmental specifications.
Choose a location for the router 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 router in a location with sufficient access to power and network cables.
Like other network devices, the router generates a significant amount of
heat. It is important to provide a balanced environment so that the router
performs properly and safely. See "System Specifications" on page 113 for
acceptable ranges of temperature and humidity.
Be sure to allow enough space around the router for adequate ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation can cause the system to overheat.
CAUTION: Do not block the air vents on E-series routers. Otherwise, the router
may overheat.

Regulatory Compliances

Refer to "System Specifications" on page 113, for a complete list of regulatory
compliance requirements, including safety, EMC, and telecommunications.

Safety Guidelines

For your safety, before installing the system, review all safety warnings in this section.
WARNING: The recommended maximum ambient temperature is 50 C (122 F). The
internal temperature of the rack should be considered for safe operation.
WARNING: Install equipment in the rack from the bottom upward. This will
maintain the stability of the rack and reduce the chance that the rack will tip over.
