2-4 T-Series Traffic Director Installation, Configuration and Administration Guide
Chapter 2 Installing the T1000
Rack Precautions
• Make sure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the
floor, with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
• For a single-rack installation, attach a stabilizer to the rack.
• For a multiple-rack installation, couple (attach) the racks together.
• The handles on the left and right of the front panel of the T1000 should only be used
for extending the T1000 out of the rack. These handles should not be used for
mounting the T1000 on the rack. Rack-rail hardware described later should be used
instead.
Preparing for Installation
Note: The site should have been selected and prepared already by working with a
Bytemobile deployment engineer. This guide only reviews the site
requirements.
Install the T1000 in a location that meets the requirements outlined in this section:
• Site Requirements
• System Reliability Guidelines
• Power Requirements
Site Requirements
Caution TO BE INSTALLED ONLY IN RESTRICTED ACCESS AREAS.
(Dedicated Equipment Rooms, Equipment Closets, or the like) in accordance
with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Codes,
ANSI/NFPS No.70.
The T1000 must be installed in an area that meets the following requirements:
• See the environmental specifications defined in the T1000 specifications document.
The site should have an air conditioner, preferably a dedicated computer room air
conditioner (CRAC), capable of maintaining the cabinet or server room at a
temperature of no more than 21 degrees C/70 degrees F at altitudes up to 2100
m/7000 ft, or 15 degrees C/60 degrees F at higher altitudes, a humidity level no
greater than 45 percent, and a dust-free environment.
• Two AC or DC (depending on shelf type) power sources within 2 meters
(approximately 6.6 feet). Wiring should be capable of handling at least 4,000 watts
per rack unit in addition to power needs for the CRAC.
• The rack in which the T1000 will be installed must be grounded (preferably to a
protective earth ground).
