3.1 Preparation
3.1.1 Precautions
Before installing the equipment, it is necessary to take the following precautions if the
equipment is mounted in an enclosed or multiple rack assembly:
1. Ensure the steady-state long-term environmental temperature around the
equipment is less than or equal to 60 °C.
2. Ensure adequate airflow is maintained for proper and safe operation.
3. Ensure placement of the equipment does not overload or unevenly load the
rack system.
4. Verify the equipment’s power requirements to prevent overloading of the
building’s electrical circuits.
5. Verify that the equipment has a reliable and uncompromised earthing path.
6. Esnure equipment is to be installed by service personnel in a restricted
operation area.
This chapter describes installation of the MultiLink ML3000 Ethernet Switch, as well as
connection of the various Ethernet media types.
3.1.2 Locating the ML3000
For mounting instructions, refer to Mechanical Installation on page 3–6.
The rugged metal case of the ML3000 normally protects it from accidental damage in an
industrial lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually monitor
the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can occur from
convection while the unit is in operation. The standard ML3000 has no fans (fans are
optional), so it is silent when in operation. Internal electronics use the case as a heat sink,
so the unit may normally be quite warm to the touch.
