• Keep the area around the appliance free from dust and conductive material.
• Follow ESD prevention procedures to avoid any damage to the appliance.
Environmental Requirements
• Ensure that the area in which you operate the appliance has adequate air circulation so
that the cooling system functions normally. Ambient air temperature may not be
sufficient to cool the chassis to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate
circulation.
• Avoid temperature extremes.
• High humidity conditions can cause moisture to penetrate into the chassis. The appliance
can operate in relative humidity of 10% to 85%, non-condensing.
Rack Requirements
You can mount a CSG700 series appliance in a 19-inch four-post rack using slide rails. Table 1
lists the rack requirements.
Table 1: Rack Requirements for a CSG700 Series Appliance
Requirement
Guidelines
Rack type
Use a 19-inch four-post rack that has bracket holes spaced at 1 U (1.75
in. or 4.45 cm) increments, and that has panels strong enough to
support the weight of the appliance.
Rack size
Comply with the size and strength standards of a 19-inch rack. Ensure
that the rack rails are spaced wide enough to accommodate the external
dimensions of the appliance chassis. Ensure that the spacing of rails
and the adjacent racks allows for proper clearance around the appliance
and the rack.
Rack firmly secured
to building structure
Secure the rack to floor brackets and to ceiling brackets to ensure
maximum stability.
Airflow Requirements
A CSG700 series appliance has a fanless design and cools by airflow through the vents on the
top of the appliance.
When planning your site for installing a CSG700 series appliance in a 19-inch rack, allow a
minimum of 0.5 RU space above the appliance to allow hot air to flow out of the appliance.
However, itt is recommended that you allow 1 RU space above the appliance for cooling.
