Installation and safety considerations Use this section to prepare your site for a safe and successful installation. The physical installation of the router must be completed by qualified service personnel. Attention: Read the "Safety and environmental notices" on page xv before attempting any installation, maintenance, or service procedures. Facility requirements To ensure correct operation of the router, the facility where the router is in use must meet the requirements listed in Table 4. Table 4. Facility requirements Type Thermal Cabinet (when rack-mounted) Requirements v A minimum air flow of 53 cubic meters per hour (31 cubic feet per minute) available in the immediate vicinity of the router v Ambient air temperature not exceeding 40°C (104°F) while the router is operating v A minimum of 5.1 cm (2 in.) airspace for air intake and exhaust vents v If cabinet mounted, install the router with the nonport side, which contains the air intake vents, facing the cool-air aisle. v Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if the router is installed in a closed or multi-cabinet assembly. v A minimum of one EIA unit high in a 19-in. (48.3 cm.) cabinet. v Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip. v Verify that the additional weight of the router does not exceed the cabinet's weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any way. v Cabinet must be secured to insure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an earthquake. v Plan for cable routing and management before installing the chassis. See "Planning for cable management" on page 18 for more information. Allow at least 3U of space below the chassis if you will be routing cables under the chassis. 10 SAN04B-R Installation, Service, and User's Guide
