Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
2.1 Site Requirements
Install the H3C SecPath F100-C indoors and make sure the
environment meets the following requirements for its normal and
durable usage.
2.1.1 Temperature/Humidity
The equipment room must maintain adequate temperature and
humidity. Long-lasting high humidity is prone to cause bad insulation
and even electricity leakage. Sometimes the mechanical performance
changes of materials, the rustiness and corrosion of some metal parts
are also likely to occur. If the relative humidity is too low, the captive
screws can become loose due to insulation washer contraction.
Meanwhile, the static is likely produced in the dry environments,
jeopardizing the CMOS circuit of the product. The higher the
temperature is, the greater the damage to your device. Long-lasting
high temperature can speed up the aging of the insulation materials,
greatly lower the device reliability, and hence significantly shorten its
service life.
Table 2-1 lists the temperature and humidity requirements.
