The site’s air conditioning system can compensate for the heat dissipation of the Cisco 10000
series (Heat Dissipation, page 2-2).
The floor space that the Cisco 10000 series router occupies can support the weight of the
system (Floor Loading Considerations, page 2-3).
Electrical service to the site complies with the requirements (Electrical Service
Requirements, page 2-4).
The electrical circuit servicing the Cisco 10000 series router complies with the requirements
(Electrical Circuit Requirements, page 2-4).
