Installation Guidelines
When you are installing an appliance, use the following guidelines:
• Ensure that there is adequate space around the appliance to allow for servicing the appliance and for
adequate airflow. The airflow in the appliance is from front to back.
• Ensure that the air-conditioning can keep the security appliance at a temperature of 41 to 95°F (5 to
35°C).
• Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the rack requirements.
• Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in 770 W AC Power Supply. If
available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.
