Site Preparation

Follow these guidelines when choosing a site for installation:
• Install the system in a data center or restricted access area, where access can be gained only by
service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security. A data
center or restricted access area is controlled by the authority responsible for the data center or
location.
• Choose a site with a dry, clean, well-ventilated and air-conditioned area.
• Choose a site that maintains an ambient temperature of 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C).
