Preparing the installation site

EPS4000 external power supplies can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface.

The installation site should meet these requirements:

• Be at the center of all the devices you want to link, and near a power outlet.
• Maintain temperatures within 0 to 50°C (32 to 122°F) and humidity levels within 5 to 95%, non-condensing.
• Provide adequate space (approximately 5.08 cm [2 in.]) on all sides for proper airflow.
• 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.
• Provide a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz, is within 2.44 m (8 ft) of each device, and is powered from an independent circuit breaker.
• As with any electrical equipment, a filter or surge suppressor is recommended.
