Chapter 2: Site Preparation and Installation
Preparing for Installation
The Alcatel-Lucent SafeGuard Controller can be installed on a shelf or tabletop or in a
standard 19-inch equipment rack. When you plan the installation of the SafeGuard
Controller, consider space, weight, power, rack, and environmental requirements. For a
rack-mounted SafeGuard Controller, make sure that the rack meets the requirements
listed in
Rack Requirements on page
Space and Weight Requirements
Allow adequate space for unpacking and maneuvering the SafeGuard Controller during
installation. You will need space to set aside the packing materials and accessory boxes
during the installation process.
For a table or shelf installation, allow an area at least 18 inches wide and 19 inches deep.
Allow for these dimensions plus any additional clearances for proper front-to-back
cooling of the system. No side, top, and bottom clearances are required because the
SafeGuard Controller is cooled from the front to the back. This cooling arrangement
allows several systems to be stacked one on top of the other for either table or rack-
mounted configurations.
The SafeGuard Controller weighs approximately 20.0 pounds (9.1 kg). It can be easily
installed and mounted by two people. If you are installing more than one SafeGuard
Controller on a table, make sure that the table can support the combined weight of all the
controllers.
Power Requirements
You can provide power for the SafeGuard Controller in either of the following ways:
■
For a SafeGuard Controller with two AC power supplies, use two 110 VAC power
input sources.
■
For a SafeGuard Controller with one AC power supply and one DC supply input,
use one 110 VAC power source and one 48 VDC power source.
The AC power supply for the SafeGuard Controller has a voltage range from 100 to 240
VAC with a maximum current of 2.2 A at 100 VAC. The DC power input has a maximum
current of 3.1 A at 48 VDC.
For either power configuration, a single power source can operate the SafeGuard
Controller, and the second source provides backup.
