Spirent A1-400-QD-16-T1P Installation Instructions
PN 71-009410 Rev A June 2022
Site Selection
The Spirent A1-400-QD-16-T1P is a high-end network testing device that must be
installed in a dust free and dry environment with adequate airflow, power, and cooling.
•
The A1-400-QD-16-T1P is designed with front to rear airflow and both ventilation
locations must remain unobstructed for proper operation. Inadequate cooling or
airflow can result in an over-temperature situation that will cause an automatic system
shut-down.
•
The inlet air temperature must be in the range of 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C) when
using QSFP-DD transceivers rated up to 15W. When using QSFP-DD transceivers
exceeding 15W, the maximum operating temperature is 86° F (30° C); 10% to 80%
relative humidity (non-condensing). The minimum operating temperature is 41 ° F (5°
C).
•
The A1-400-QD-16-T1P is designed to be mounted in a Telecom-style 19" 4-post
open rack.
•
The chassis occupies 2 rack unit
•
The rack must be designed, and adequately secured, to accommodate the fully
loaded weight of the A1-400-QD-16-T1P (approximately 59 lb. (26.7 kg) and any
other installed equipment.
•
It is not recommended to install the chassis in an enclosure unless it is specifically
designed to handle the airflow and cooling requirements of the chassis.
•
The A1-400-QD-16-T1P appliance requires two (2) 208-240VAC power outlets on a
10A circuit, with no other connected equipment.
Rack Mounting Considerations
Refer to the instructions included with the ACC-6111A Slide Rail Mounting Kit for this
chassis.
Warning:
Due to the size and weight of the system, ensure that at least two people lift the
system.
The A1-400-QD-16-T1P may require safety agency evaluation, certification, and
licensing. Check with your building inspector for requirements applicable to your
location.
Notes on Rack Mounting
•
Elevated operating ambient–If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature of 50° to 95° F (10°
to 35° C). Refer to
for additional detailed operating specifications.
•
Reduced air flow–Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
