WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Hardware Installation Guide
Installing the Chassis 2-3
v1.0, May 2007
Requirements
The WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch is shipped with mounting brackets already
attached so that you can mount the chassis into a standard 19-inch equipment rack.
The WFS709TP, like other network and computing devices, requires compliance with operational
specifications:
• Reliable power
– Make sure that your electrical outlet is compatible with the WFS709TP. For power
requirements, see
Appendix B, “Specifications”.
– Power cords must be rated to 10 A and must conform to grounded electrical standards in
the country in which the WFS709TP operates.
– Use of a power line conditioner or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can decrease or
mitigate problems caused by power service fluctuations. Make sure that the output of any
power shaping device is compatible with the WFS709TP power supply.
• Cool, non-condensing ventilation
– For operating environment information, see Appendix B, “Specifications”.
– Where a large number of electrical devices are running in the same area, additional air
conditioning or air circulation equipment may be required.
• Ample space
– For proper air circulation, leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance for the vents on the left
and right of the chassis.
– Leave additional space in front and back of the chassis to access power cords, network
cables, and indicator LEDs.
• Limited electromagnetic interference
Note: The four 12-24 screws included with the WFS709TP are intended for securing the
chassis to the rack. Some racks require different sized screws which are not
included. Make sure that you have the correct screws or fasteners for your rack
system before attempting to mount the chassis.
