Page 96: Temperature
Maintaining Your Site Environment Temperature Temperature extremes can cause a variety of problems, including premature aging and failure of chips or mechanical failure of devices. Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause chips to become loose in their sockets and can cause expansion and contraction of disk drive platters, resulting in read or write data errors. -
Page 97: Humidity
Appendix C Maintaining the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine Humidity High-humidity conditions can cause moisture migration and penetration into the system. This moisture can cause corrosion of internal components and degradation of properties such as electrical resistance and thermal conductivity. Extreme moisture buildup inside the system can result in electrical shorts, which can cause serious damage to the system. -
Page 98: Corrosion
Maintaining Your Site Environment Corrosion The oil from a person’s fingers or prolonged exposure to high temperature or humidity can corrode the gold-plated edge connectors and pin connectors on various devices in the system. This corrosion on system connectors is a gradual process that can eventually lead to intermittent failures of electrical circuits. -

Appendix C Maintaining the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine interfere with cordless and low-power telephones. Conversely, RFI from high-power telephones can cause spurious characters to appear on the system’s monitor screen. RFI is defined as any EMI with a frequency above 10 kilohertz (kHz). This type of interference can travel from the system to other devices through the power cable and power source or through the air like transmitted radio waves. -
Page 100: Power Source Interruptions
Maintaining Your Site Environment Power Source Interruptions Systems are especially sensitive to variations in voltage supplied by the AC power source. Overvoltage, undervoltage, and transients (or spikes) can erase data from memory or even cause components to fail. To protect against these types of problems, power cables should always be properly grounded and one or both of the following methods should be used: Use one of the power protection devices described in the... -

Appendix C Maintaining the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine Using Power Protection Devices A number of devices are available that protect against power problems such as power surges, transients, and power failures. The following sections describe some of these devices. Surge Protectors Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level of protection commensurate with the cost of the device. - Page 102 Appendix C Maintaining the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine Using Power Protection Devices UPS systems range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, with the more expensive units allowing you to run larger systems for a longer period of time when AC power is lost.
