specifications.

• This product is designed for in building installation only and is not intended to be connected to exposed

(outside plant) networks.

1.4 Site Preparation

• Consult your site survey and network analysis reports to determine specific equipment placement, port

capacity, power drops, and so on.

• Assign installation responsibility to the appropriate personnel.

• Identify where all installed components are located.

• Verify appropriate rack mounting requirements, as required.

• Provide a sufficient number of power drops for your equipment.

• Ensure adequate, dust-free ventilation to all installed equipment.

• Identify and prepare Ethernet and console port connections.

1.5 Selecting a Site

Switch units can be mounted in a standard 19 inch equipment rack or on a flat surface. Be sure to follow the

guidelines listed below when choosing a site:

• Locate the switch unit at the center of all devices you want to link and near a power outlet.

• Maintain a tempurature range within -40

° to 149° F / 40° to 65° C and humidity range within 10% to 90 %

non-condensing.

• Provide adequate space (approximately 2 inches) on all sides for proper air flow.

• Confirm access for installing, cabling, and maintaining all devices.

• Install the switch unit so status LEDs are clearly visible.

• Ensure twisted-pair cables are always routed away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and other

sources of electrical interference, such as radios and transmitters.

• Ensure the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 250VAC and 50 to

60Hz power levels.

• Ensure the unit is within 6.6 ft / 2m of each device that is powered from an independent circuit breaker.

• Use of a filter or circuit breaker is recommended.

Installation Guide 9

2.4 Power Cord Specifications

A power cord is not supplied with the NX series platform. Use only a correctly rated power cord certified (as

appropriate) for the country of operation.

Power Protection

• If possible, use a circuit dedicated to data processing equipment. Commercial electrical contractors

are familiar with wiring for data processing equipment and can help with the load balancing of these circuits.

• Install surge protection. Be sure to use a surge protection device between the electricity source and the NX

series platform.

• Install an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). A UPS provides continuous power during a power outage.

Some UPS devices have integral surge protection. UPS equipment requires periodic maintenance to ensure

reliability. A UPS of the proper capacity for the data processing equipment must be purchased.
