Chapter 3 Preparing Your Site for Installation
Site Planning
• 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.
• Position system cables and power supply cable carefully. Route system cables and power supply
cable and plug such that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing else rests
on your system component cables or power cable.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications. Always follow your local and national wiring rules.
• If you turn off your system, wait at least 30 seconds before turning it on again to avoid system
component damage.
Site Selection Guidelines
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router requires specific environmental operating conditions. Temperature,
humidity, altitude, and vibration can affect the performance and reliability of the router. The following
sections provide specific information to help you plan for a proper operating environment.
The Cisco ASR 1001-X Router is designed to meet the industry EMC, safety, and environmental
standards described in the Regulatory, Safety, and Compliance Information for Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Aggregation Services Routers document.
Site Environmental Requirements
Environmental monitoring protects the system and components from damage caused by excessive
voltage and temperature conditions. To ensure normal operation and avoid unnecessary maintenance,
plan and prepare your site configuration before installation. After installation, make sure the site
maintains the environmental characteristics, as shown in Table 3-2.
