Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirements
Caution
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be
between 1 and 10 megohm (Mohm).
Site Requirements
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and operation of your
system. Ensure that your site is properly prepared before beginning installation.
Environmental
The Cisco IAD1101 can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack or on a wall. The location of the
chassis and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring room are extremely important for proper system
operation. Placing equipment too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can
make system maintenance difficult or cause system malfunctions and shutdowns.
The following precautions will help you plan an acceptable operating environment for your
Cisco IAD1101 and help you avoid environmentally-caused equipment failures:
•
Ensure that the room in which you operate your system has adequate air circulation. Electrical
equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be able to cool equipment to
acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation.
•
Always follow the ESD-prevention procedures described in the “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
Damage” section to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause
immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
•
Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis is designed to allow cooling air to flow
effectively inside it. An open chassis allows air leaks, which might interrupt and redirect the flow
of cooling air from internal components. Do not operate the chassis without a the chassis cover
securely in place.
Power
Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving “clean” power (free of spikes and noise).
Install a power conditioner if necessary.
All units include a 6-foot (1.8-meter) electrical power cord. (A label near the power cord indicates the
correct voltage, frequency, current draw, and power dissipation for the unit.)
Warning
This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent)
protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. is used
on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
