Environmental, Rack, Space, and Power Requirements
Follow these guidelines when selecting an installation location for the BlueSecure
Controller.
Environmental
Ensure that the BSC installation site:
Has on operating Temperature of 50 to 95° F (10 to 35° C.
1.
Has an operating Humidity of 40 to 80% non-condensing.
2.
Is free of dust and moisture.
3.
Rack
Ensure that the two-post, 19-inch equipment rack in which you install the Bluesocket BSC:
1.
Conforms to the ANSI/EIA-310-D-92 specifications.
Is fixed in place.
2.
Has an open back and open front to allow the BSC to cool adequately.
3.
Has front and side stabilizers installed.
4.
Space
Ensure that you have adequate rack space to install the Bluesocket BSC:
The Bluesocket BSC-600 and BSC-1200 BlueSecure Controllers occupy 1.75 inches/
1.
44 mm (1U) of vertical rack space.
The Bluesocket BSC-2100 and BSC-2200/3200/5200 BlueSecure Controllers
2.
occupy 3.50 inches/89 mm (2U) of vertical rack space.
There is at least 15 inches/381 mm of clearance in front of and behind the rack. This
3.
space is required to connect and disconnect network cables.
AC Power

1.
AC frequency: 50 to 60 Hz.
2.
Mounting the BlueSecure Controller Chassis
You may install and operate the Bluesocket BSC either resting on a desktop, or mounted
to a two-post equipment rack. Follow one of the two procedures below for desktop
mounting, depending on your BSC model. The instructions for rack-mounting are the
same for all models.
•
BSC-600/BSC-1200 Desktop Mounting
•
BSC-2100 and BSC-2200/3200/5200 Desktop Mounting
•
Rack-mounting the BlueSecure Controller
Note: The BSC is cooled from ventilation holes located on the sides of its chassis and on
its front and back panels. Ensure that these vents remain free of obstruction while the BSC
is operating on the desktop.
