3 Shelf Installation
Install the system in a restricted access area, where access can be gained only
by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other
means of security.
Choose a site with a dry, clean, well-ventilated and air-conditioned area that
maintains an ambient temperature of 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F).
3.0.1 Ensuring Overcurrent Protection
The system relies on the protective devices in the building installation for
protection against short-circuit, overcurrent, and earth (grounding) fault. Ensure
that the protective devices in the building installation are properly rated to
protect the system, and that they comply with national and local codes.
3.0.2 Ensuring Proper Airflow
•
Install the system in an open rack whenever possible. If installation in an
enclosed rack is unavoidable, ensure that the rack has adequate ventilation.
•
Maintain ambient airflow to ensure normal operation. If the airflow is blocked
or restricted, or if the intake air is too warm, an over temperature condition
can occur.
•
Ensure that cables from other equipment do not obstruct the airflow through
the Shelf.
•
Use filler panels to cover all empty chassis slots. The filler panel prevents
fan air from escaping out of the front of an open slot.
3.0.3 Creating a Safe Environment
•
Keep tools and chassis components off the floor and away from foot traffic.
•
Clear the area of possible hazards, such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
•
Keep the area around the chassis free from dust and foreign conductive
material.
Caution!
To maintain proper airflow, all open slots must be covered with filler panels.
The filler panel should include an airflow baffle that extends to backplane.
