Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco MXE 3000
Safety Guidelines
–
The product has been exposed to water.
–
The product has been dropped or damaged.
–
The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions.
• Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling
vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product in a wet
environment.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or
electric shock by shorting out interior components.
• Use the product only with other Cisco-approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
• Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type of power source
indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required,
consult your service representative or local power company.
• Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power cable for your
Cisco
MXE 3000 or for any AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable
that is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the
voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating
of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help
ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
• Observe power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the
power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the power strip ampere ratings limit.
• Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with your product.
• To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical
power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord and plug so that they
cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on your system components’ cables
or power cord.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications. Always follow your local or national wiring rules.
System Reliability Considerations
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure the following occurs:
• Each of the drive bays has either a drive or a filler panel installed.
• For rack configurations, make sure that space is available around the appliance to enable the cooling
system to work properly. See the
“Environmental Requirements” section on page 2-4, for additional
information.
• A removed hot-swappable drive is replaced within 2 minutes of removal.
• A failed fan is replaced within 48 hours.
