Installation Preparation
Site Considerations
Considering the following helps you plan an acceptable operating environment for the chassis, and avoid
environmentally caused equipment failures.
• 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 the ESD-prevention procedures described previously to avoid damage to equipment.
Power Supply Considerations

When installing the chassis, consider the following:
• Check the power at the site before installing the chassis to ensure that it is "clean" (free of spikes and
• 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
• Several styles of AC-input power supply cords are available; make sure that you have the correct style
• Install an uninterruptible power source for your site, if possible.
• If you are using dual redundant (1+1) power supplies, we recommend that you use independent electrical
