Hardware Installation and Reference Guide
Caution
If the equipment has been powered off for more than 18 months, power on the equipment and run it for
consecutive 24 hours to activate the device.
2.2

Site Requirements

The equipment must be installed indoors for normal operation and prolonged service life. The following sections
provide specific information to help you plan for a proper operating environment.
2.2.1

Floor Loading

Ensure that the floor under the rack supporting the chassis is capable of supporting the combined weight of the
rack and all the other components.
2.2.2

Airflow

To ensure adequate airflow through the chassis, maintain a minimum clearance of 20 cm (7.87 in.) around air
vents. Route the cables and power cords through the cable management brackets to avoid blocking air intake
vents. Dust the equipment every three months to prevent blocking the ventilation openings on the housing.
2.2.3

Space


You are advised to have a pathway of 0.8 meters (2.62 ft.) wide in the equipment room. This space ensures
that you can remove the components and perform routing maintenance easily.

The front and rear of the chassis must remain unobstructed to ensure adequate airflow and prevent
overheating inside the chassis.
2.2.4

Temperature

To ensure normal operation and prolonged service life of the equipment, maintain an appropriate temperature
in the equipment room. Otherwise, the equipment may be damaged.

A high temperature can accelerate the aging process of insulation materials, greatly reducing the availability
of the equipment and severely affecting its service life.
See Table 1-8 Technical Specifications
Note
The operating temperature is measured at the point that is 1.5 m (4.92 ft.) above the floor and 0.4 m (1.31 ft.)
before the equipment with no protective plates in front or at the back of the equipment.
2.2.5

Humidity

To ensure normal operation and prolonged service life of the equipment, maintain an appropriate humidity in the
equipment room. Otherwise, the equipment may be damaged.

In an environment with a high relative humidity, the insulating material is prone to poor insulation or even
electricity leakage.

In an environment with a low relative humidity, the insulating strip may dry and shrink, resulting in screw
for the temperature requirement.
