Site Preparation
PowerConnect 60 xx devices can be mounted in a standard 48.26-cm (19-inch) rack or left
free-standing (placed on a tabletop). Before installing the device, ensure that the chosen
installation location meets the following site requirements:
• Power — The device is installed near an easily accessible 100–250 VAC, 50–60 Hz outlet.
• General — The power supply is correctly installed by checking that the LEDs on the front
panel are illuminated.
• Clearance — There is adequate frontal clearance for operator access. Allow clearance for
cabling, power connections, and ventilation.
• Cabling — The cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise such as radio
transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
• Ambient — The ambient device operating temperature range is 0 to 55ºC (32 to 131ºF) at a
relative humidity of up to 95 percent, non-condensing.
