Verifying Site Requirements
The installation site must provide a certain amount of free space around the ARN
to dissipate heat, as detailed in Table 1-1
.
In addition, the installation site must meet the electrical and environmental
specifications listed in Appendix C.
Installing the ARN
When you are ready to install the ARN in its final location, you have two options:
Position the ARN on a flat, sturdy, horizontal surface.
Mount the ARN in an electronic enclosure rack.
Positioning the ARN on a Flat Surface
When positioning the ARN on a flat surface, make sure that the surface is:
Large enough for the ARN to operate properly (Table 1-1)
Sturdy enough to support the combined weight of the ARN and any cables
that you connect
You should place the self-adhesive, rubber feet (shipped with the ARN) on the
bottom of the ARN chassis. These feet not only protect the surface on which you
position the ARN, they provide added friction against the weight of any cables
that you attach to the device.
