Preparing the Site
Site Selection Criteria
Before beginning the installation process, make sure that the area where you intend to install your C7004/
C150 meets the following safety requirements:
•
It is in a restricted access area.
•
It is in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, temperature-controlled room, that is away from heat sources such as
hot air vents or direct sunlight.
•
It is away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
•
It is near an adequate power source.
•
The AC power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device; ensure that the socket outlet is
located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
•
Connect the C7004/C150 to the appropriate branch circuit protection, as defined by local
electrical codes.
•
It is positioned in a rack with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the unit for proper
ventilation, access to cables, and maintenance access.
•
Allow
at least
six inches (16 cm) of clearance around the side intake and exhaust vents.
•
Allow
at least
12 inches (30.5 cm) between two C7004/C150s or a C7004/C150 and another side
airflow chassis.
•
Allow
at least
18 inches in the front and rear of the rack.
NOTE:
The C-Series does not have an air filter, so take special care in making sure that the installation site
and the chassis itself are cleaned regularly.
Preparing the Equipment Rack
When you prepare your equipment rack:
•
Make sure that the rack is bolted to the floor and braced to a wall or ceiling.
•
Make sure that the rack is permanently grounded to earth ground. The equipment rack must be grounded
to the same ground point used by the power service in your area.
•
The AC power cord is the primary ground.
When you install the chassis, use a level to ensure that the chassis is installed level.
