Installation Preparation
• Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be adequate to cool equipment
• Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis is designed to allow cooling air to flow effectively
• Always follow ESD-prevention procedures to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge

When installing the chassis, consider the following:
• Check the power at the site before installing the chassis to ensure that it is free of spikes and noise. Install
• Install proper grounding for the site to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.
• The chassis does not have a user-selectable operating range. Refer to the label on the chassis for the

• Install an uninterruptible power source for your site, if possible.
Rack Configuration Considerations
See
Rack-Mount the Chassis, on page 31
Consider the following when planning a rack configuration:
• If you are mounting a chassis in an open rack, make sure that the rack frame does not block the intake
• If your rack includes closing front and rear doors, the doors must have 65 percent open perforated area
• Be sure enclosed racks have adequate ventilation. Make sure that the rack is not overly congested as each
