Prepare the Hardware Installation Site

This section describes the requirements your site must meet for the safe installation and operation of the
system.

Safety Requirements

For your protection, please read these safety instructions completely before operating the equipment.
● Look carefully for potential hazards in your work area: moist floors, ungrounded power cables, frayed
power cords, missing safety grounds and so forth.
● Locate the main circuit breaker within the room.
● Locate the emergency power OFF switch within the room.
● Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit.
● Use only the power cord supplied with the system.
● Each power cord should only be connected to a power outlet that has a protective ground contact.
● Ensure that the power cord is easily accessible from the back of the system at all times.
● Place the equipment in a well-ventilated area where the vents are free from obstruction.
● Do not place heavy objects directly on top of the RealPresence Collaboration Server unit.
● Do not use liquids around your equipment.

Rack Mount Safety Precautions

The following precautions should be followed with regards to rack mount safety:
● Keep the area around the RealPresence Collaboration Server clean and free of clutter.
● Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the RealPresence Collaboration
Server 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 it placed near a
grounded power outlet.
● 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's slots closed when not servicing, to maintain proper cooling.
