Please adhere to the following guidelines for installing the Acme Packet 1100 in a
chassis rack:
elevated operating temperature — if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
•
assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than the ambient room temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given
to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
environmental specifications listed in this document.
• reduced air flow — installation of the equipment in a rack should be placed in
such a way that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the
equipment is not compromised.
circuit overloading — consideration should be given to the connection of the
•
equipment to the supply circuit and to the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
reliable earthing — 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 (e.g., use of power strips).
The Acme Packet 1100 shall only be installed in a restricted-
access location.
The Acme Packet 1100 must have access to reliable power and cooling. When
choosing a location for your Acme Packet 1100, follow the guidelines listed in this
section.
When preparing to install your Acme Packet 1100:
Locate the Acme Packet 1100 in a clean and well-ventilated room. This location
•
should also be far from areas where heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic
fields are present.
When preparing to install your Acme Packet 1100:
Ensure that the installation location has access to adequate power and
•
grounding. Separate circuits should be available for the power supply of each
Acme Packet 1100 in a high availability configuration.
Never use extension cords when powering an Acme Packet 1100.
•
Use grounded, 3-conductor circuits.
•
A local earth ground must be available for the rack (optional) on which the
•
Acme Packet 1100 is installed.
A service disconnect must be provided for each power supply that is clearly
•
marked and is nearby the equipment.
