Chapter 3 Preparing for Installation
3.1 Environment Requirements
The F1000-E is designed for indoor use. To ensure the normal operation and prolong
the service life, the installation site must meet the requirements mentioned hereunder.
3.1.1 Ventilation Requirements
The fans of the F1000-E draw air in through the inlet vents on the left and out through
the exhaust vents on the right.
Figure 3-1
Ventilation method for the F1000-E
Make sure that:
There is a minimum clearance of 10 cm (3.9 in) around the air intake and the air
exhaust for heat dissipation of the firewall chassis.
A ventilation system is available at the installation site.
3.1.2 Temperature and Humidity Requirements
To ensure the normal operation and prolong the service life, the temperature and
humidity in the equipment room should be maintained at an appropriate level.
A long-term high relative humidity will quite likely result in poor insulation
performance, electric leakage, mechanical property change, and corrosion.
