Caution
The recommended operating temperature is 32ºF to 104ºF/0ºC to 40ºC. Installation in a
closed or multi-rack assembly may raise the immediate ambient temperature above the
average room temperature. Exercise due caution.
Caution
Ensure the electrical circuit through which the integrated services platform is powered can
safely accommodate a 300 Watt power supply.
Caution
It is recommended you connect the NX-7500 series integrated services platform to an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). There are instances in which the system software could
become corrupt and un-recoverable in the event of power loss, for example, during a system
upgrade, database backup or database restore operation.

Site Preparation

Consult your site survey and network analysis reports to determine specific equipment placement,
power drops, and so on.
Assign installation responsibility to the appropriate personnel.
Identify and document where all installed components are located.
Provide a sufficient number of power drops for your equipment.
Ensure adequate, dust-free ventilation to all installed equipment.
Identify and prepare Ethernet and console port connections.
Verify cable lengths are within the maximum allowable distances for optimal signal transmission.

NX-7500 Series Integrated Services Platform
Do not lift the NX-7500 series integrated services platform using the rack mount brackets.
Use only industry-standard mounting kits when installing the NX-7500 series integrated
services platforms, as improper mounting may result in hardware failure and hazardous
conditions. It is recommended to use the mounting rails included with the integrated
services platform.
If installing the NX-7500 series integrated services platform in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
the room ambient temperature. Consideration should be given to installing the appliance in
an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer.
Installation of the NX-7500 integrated services platform in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
