General environmental and installation guidelines
The i5000/i7000/i10000/i11000 Series platform is an industrial network appliance that is designed to be
mounted in a standard 19-inch EIA rack.
Follow these guidelines to adhere to safety precautions:
• Install the rack according to the manufacturer's instructions and check the rack for stability before
placing equipment in it.
• Build and position the rack so that after you install the platform, the power supply and the vents on
both the front and back of the unit remain unobstructed. The platform must have adequate ventilation
around the unit at all times.
• Although not required, a 1U space between units makes it easier for you to remove the unit from the
rack in the event that the unit requires service. A 1U space between units also provides additional
cable routing options.
• Leaving at least 100 mm of space from the front panel of the unit to the rack front or rack door
provides enough room for you to route the cables without excessive bending or insulation damage.
• A shelf or similar supportive structure is required to support the unit if only one person is installing
the unit.
• Do not plug the unit into a branch circuit shared by more electronic equipment than the circuit is
designed to manage safely at one time.
• Route and secure power cords so that they do not obstruct removal of the fan tray.
Warning: Due to the weight of the platform, at least two people are required to install this chassis into a
rack. Failing to use two people can result in severe personal injury or equipment damage.
Important: This product is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). F5
®
recommends that you use
proper ESD grounding procedures and equipment when you install or maintain the unit.
Caution: Customers should not attempt to replace batteries. There is a risk of explosion if a battery is
replaced with an incorrect type. Field technicians should dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
Attention : Il y à risque d'explosion si la batterie est remplacée par une batterie de type incorrect. Mettre
au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions.
Chassis rack-mount spatial requirements
The i5000/i7000/i10000/i11000 Series platforms ship with a rack mount kit to help install the system
more easily. This kit requires that the rack or cabinet has certain clearances and spacing, as shown here.
