1.3 Warnings

• Read all installation instructions and site survey reports, and verify correct equipment installation before

connecting the system to its power source.

• Remove jewelry and watches before installing this equipment.

• Install the equipment in a rack with adequate dimensions and weight allowances.

• Verify the unit is grounded before connecting it to the power source.

• Verify any device connected to this unit is properly wired and grounded.

• Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical circuit.

• Verify the electrical circuits have appropriate overload protection.

• There is a risk of explosion if the battery supplied with this product is replaced with an incorrect type of

battery. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

• Motorola strongly recommends the use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that supports the

NX-4500/NX6500 series platform power rating. Not using a UPS can result in data loss or equipment

damage due to a power surge or power failure.

• Verify that the power connector and socket are accessible at all times during the operation of the

equipment.

• Do not work with power circuits in dimly lit spaces.

• Do not install this equipment or work with its power circuits during thunderstorms or other weather

conditions that could cause a power surge.

• Verify there is adequate ventilation around the device, and ambient temperatures meet equipment

operation 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.

WARNING! Indicates a condition or procedure that could result in personal injury or equipment

damage.

Installation Guide 7

• 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.

• Verify that cable lengths are within the maximum allowable distances for optimal signal transmission.

• Verify that the device is powered through an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

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 that status LEDs are clearly visible.

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

50 to 60Hz power levels.

• Ensure that 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.

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.

2.4.1 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.
