Chapter 4 Installation and Maintenance
Installing the SCE 2000 Platform
Installation Precautions
The router should already be in the area where you will install it, and your installation location should
already be determined. If not, see Information About Site Requirement Guidelines and the Site
Preparation and Safety Guide .
When installing the SCE 2000 , please observe the following conditions:
• Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance at its left and right sides for airflow clearance from the
inlet and exhaust vents, and that no exhaust air from other equipment is drawn into the SCE 2000 .
For descriptions and illustrations regarding airflow, see Airflow.
• Do not place the SCE 2000 on the floor during installation. Dust that accumulates on the floor is
drawn into the interior of the SCE 2000 by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the SCE 2000
can cause over-temperature conditions and component failures.
• Allow at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the SCE 2000 for installing
and rudimentary maintenance for accessing network cables or equipment.
• Ensure that the SCE 2000 will receive adequate ventilation. Do not install the SCE 2000 in an
enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate!
• Provide an adequate chassis Ground (earth) connection for the SCE 2000 (see How to Attach a
Chassis Ground Connection for instructions).
How to Install the SCE 2000 on a Workbench or Tabletop
You can install the SCE 2000 platform on any flat surface as long as the surface is large enough for the
SCE 2000 (see the table in ), and allows for adequate airflow/ventilation around the sides of the SCE
2000 , as described in the Installation Precautions. When installing the SCE 2000 on a workbench or
tabletop or in a rack, ensure that the surface is clean and in a safe location.
Figure 4-3 Installing the System on a Flat Surface
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Remove any debris and dust from the tabletop or workbench, as well as the surrounding area. Also
make sure your path between the SCE 2000 platform and its new location is unobstructed.
