Safety instructions
Follow these safety instructions when working with Interaction Edge. These instructions cover the following
topics:

Rack mounting considerations ...............................................................................................................................5

Important!
Interaction Edge is a network appliance that is permanently sealed. You must not attempt to open it
for any repair or modification. Breaking the seal on the appliance automatically voids all warranty and
support for the product.
Rack mounting considerations
1. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature – If the system is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified.
2. Reduced Airflow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply
wiring.
5. Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given
to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (use of power strips).

Before installing the chassis into a rack:

1. Make sure that the rack is securely anchored onto an unmovable surface or structure before installing the
chassis into the rack.
2. Unplug the power cord(s) of the rack before installing the chassis into the rack.
3. Make sure that the system is adequately supported. Make sure that all the components are securely
fastened to the chassis to prevent components falling off of the chassis.
4. Be sure to install an AC Power Disconnect for the entire rack assembly. The Power Disconnect must be
clearly marked.
5. The rack assembly shall be properly grounded to avoid electrical shock.
6. The rack assembly must provide sufficient airflow to the chassis for proper cooling.
Tip:
For the procedure to install Interaction Edge into a rack, see
Electrical and general safety guidelines
Warning: To avoid potential for an electrical shock hazard, you
must provide proper grounding from the chassis to the cabinet
frame. Do not attempt to connect power to the system until
