Environmental requirements

Before you install the Option 11C Mini system, make sure that the site meets
all environmental, grounding, power, and cross-connect terminal
requirements.
The Meridian 1 Option 11C Mini system is designed to operate in an
environment that meets the following general conditions:
• Make sure that the room is clean and well ventilated. Each chassis can
dissipate up to 370 Watts of power. Equipment room ventilation must be
sufficient, in order to maintain the temperature at an acceptable level.
• Maintain the temperature between 0° and 45° C (32° and 113° F) when
the chassis are installed.
• Maintain the humidity between 5% and 95% non-condensing.
• Select a location for installing the equipment that is not subject to
constant vibration.
• Locate the equipment at least 12 ft (3660 mm) away from sources of
electrostatic, electromagnetic, or radio frequency interference. These
sources can include:
— power tools
— appliances (such as vacuum cleaners)
— office business machines (such as copying machines)
— all electric motors
— electrical transformers
