Location Requirements
Install a Switch 4007 in an area that meets the
following requirements:
■
Ambient (room) temperature: 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F
to 122 °F). The default internal operating
temperature threshold for the Switch 4007 is
approximately 60 °C (140 °F).
■
Relative humidity: between 10 and 90 percent,
noncondensing.
■
The table or rack on which you mount the chassis
supports at least three times the weight of a fully
loaded chassis.
■
The recommended minimum space that is required
between the front of the chassis and another
vertical surface (such as a rack door) is 8 cm (3 in.).
■
There is a sufficient amount of space on each side
of the Switch 4007 chassis to accommodate any
cables along the side of the chassis.
■
There is at least 7 cm (2.76 in.) on each side of the
Switch 4007 chassis to ensure proper cooling in
the chassis.
■
There is at least 91.4 cm (36 in.) in back of the
chassis to:
■
Remove and replace power supplies.
■
Maintain proper cooling.
■
If the chassis is the first device in your rack, then
mount it about 10.2 cm (4 in.) up from the floor.
■
The power source is within approximately 2 meters
(6.6 feet) of the location where you plan to install
the Switch 4007.
■
Each of the power supplies connects to a
dedicated circuit. Do not connect the power
supplies to a power strip.
■
The surface on which you want to locate the
Switch 4007 chassis is level.
■
Have the required cables available at your site to
make physical connections in your switch
configuration.
Precautionary Guidelines
■
Ambient temperature for the Switch 4007 must
not exceed 50
°
C (122
°
F).
■
Safety regulations stipulate that for a Switch 4007
chassis, the table, shelf, or rack on which the
switch rests can support at least 115.65 kg (255
lb), which is three times the weight of a fully
loaded Switch 4007 chassis.
