Site selection
Install your equipment in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is one where
service personnel can only gain access using a special tool, lock, key, or other means of
security. The authority responsible for the location controls access to the restricted area.
Ensure that the area where you install your platform meets the following safety
requirements:
• Near an adequate power source. Connect the platform to the appropriate branch circuit
protection according to your local electrical codes.
• Environmental—platform location—continuous temperature range is from 0°C to 45°C
(32°F to 113°F).
