Installation location

Devices can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, on the wall, or on a flat surface.

The site should meet the following requirements:

• Maintain the operating environment as specified in the Technical Specifications.
• Allow a minimum of 7.62 cm (3 in.) of space between the front and the back of the device and walls or other obstructions for proper airflow.
• Allow at least 7.62 cm (3 in.) of space at the front and back of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic, and power cabling.
• The site should be accessible for installing, cabling, and maintaining the devices.
• Allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible.
• Allow for twisted-pair cables to be routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and other sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.
• Allow for the unit to be connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz, within 2 m (6.6 ft) of each device, and is powered from an independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
• Some combinations of intake and exhaust airflows may not be compatible with your environment.
