Considerations Before Installing
Consider the following items before installing equipment.
● The system is designed to operate in a typical environmentally controlled Telco environment. Choose
an indoor area that has the following characteristics:
■ Temperature- and humidity-controlled, such that the maximum ambient room temperature shall
not exceed 40ºC (104ºF)
■ Clean and free from airborne materials that can conduct electricity
■ Well ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight
■ Away from sources of vibration or physical shock
■ Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices
■ Secured, enclosed, and restricted-access, ensuring that only trained and qualified service
personnel have access to the equipment
● Establish at least 3 inches clearance on all sides for effective ventilation. Do not obstruct the air
intake vent on the front, side, or rear ventilation grills. Locate the system away from heat sources.
● Make sure that your equipment is placed in an area that accommodates the power consumption and
component heat dissipation specifications.
● Make sure that your power supplies meet the site power or AC power requirements of the all
network equipment.
