• Plan for cable management before installing the chassis. Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as
by routing cables below the chassis, to either side of the chassis, through cable channels on the sides of the
cabinet, or using patch panels. Refer to the product’s DCX-4S Backbone Hardware Reference Manual for
specific information.
• Ensure that one or two dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available:
- 200-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz (refer to the corresponding Hardware Reference Manual for additional electrical
specifications)
- Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes
- Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, according to the electrical rating on the chassis
nameplate
- Grounded outlets are installed by a licensed electrician and compatible with the power cords
- Located close to the enterprise-class platform chassis and easily accessible
• To maximize fault tolerance, connect each power cord to a separate power source.
• Ensure that all equipment installed in the cabinet is grounded through a reliable branch circuit connection. Do
not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
• Ensure that the product fans have access to a total minimum airflow of 350 cubic ft (9.91 cubic meters) per
minute. Do not block intake vents. Allow for a minimum of 14 in. (35.66 cm) clearance.
• Ensure that the air temperature on the air intake side is less than 104
o
Fahrenheit (40
o
Celsius) during
operation.
