Preparing for Setup
Please read this section in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.
Choosing a Setup Location
Decide on a suitable location for the rack. It should be a clean, dust-free area that is
well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields
are generated. Place it near a grounded power outlet.
•
Leave at least 25 inches clearance in front of the rack to open the front door
completely.
•
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
•
Install in a restricted access location, such as a dedicated equipment room or
service closet.
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera-
ture of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the
room. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's
maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).
Adequate Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
