Installation Precautions - Polycom RMX 2000 Hardware Manual

● Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the RealPresence Collaboration
Server (RMX) 2000 unit. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid
areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need to
place it near a grounded power outlet.

Installation Precautions

When handling electronic components, standard anti-static precautions must be observed:
● Wear a grounding strap.
● Handle cards by their edges only and do not touch their components or connector pins.
● Keep components in anti-static bags when not installed in the RealPresence Collaboration Server
(RMX) 2000.
The following precautions should be followed when installing the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX)
2000:
● use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the RealPresence Collaboration
Server (RMX) 2000 from power surges and voltage spikes.
● place the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 on a hard, flat surface such as a desktop,
or mount it on 19" rack.
● The airflow of the RealPresence Collaboration Server (RMX) 2000 is from right to left. Be sure that
the areas on both sides of the system are clear for proper ventilation.
● Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full
weight of the rack resting on them.
● In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
● In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
● Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
● You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause
the rack to become unstable.
● Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each component in the rack.
● Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
● Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.
● Always keep the rack trays and card slots closed when not servicing, to maintain proper cooling.
