Locate the main circuit breaker within the room.
Locate the emergency power OFF switch within the room.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit.
Use only the power cord supplied with the system.
The power cord should only be connected to a power outlet that has a protective
ground contact.
Ensure that the power cord is easily accessible from the back of the system at all times.
Place the equipment in a well-ventilated area where the vents are free from obstruction.
Do not place heavy objects directly on top of the RealPresence Collaboration Server
1800 unit.
Do not use liquids around your equipment.
Keep the area around the RealPresence Collaboration Server 1800 clean and free of
clutter.
Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the RealPresence
Collaboration Server 1800 unit. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is
well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are
generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet.
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor
with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.
