If the site will be undergoing construction that involves sawing, welding, or drilling,
pr
otect the storage system from concrete, metal particles, and other debris during
construction.
Maintaining the optimal temperature
The site must provide sucient airow capacity to remove the heat generated by the
storage system.
Prior to installation, verify that the site has a cooling system that can support all thermal
emissions.
The level of cooling required for the storage system is not the same as the air
conditioning used in oces and homes. Air-conditioning systems in oces and homes
provide comfort for the low heat and higher moisture generated by the human body. In
contrast, electronic equipment generates high dry-heat output that is moisture-free.
Your storage system can tolerate temperature and humidity uctuations if the specied
ranges are followed. Exceeding the maximum temperature and humidity ranges for any
period of time, however, can aect storage system performance adversely. To ensure
that the ambient temperature near the intake at the front of the storage system does not
exceed system specications, verify that the location where the storage system will be
installed has a cooling system that can support all thermal emissions.
Note: Do not stor
e or install the equipment in an environment with
temperatures of 104ºF (40ºC) or higher because battery life will be shortened.
Air enters the storage system at the front and exits through the rear. Be sure the front of
the storage system is neither blocked nor exposed to heated air blown from nearby
equipment.
If conditions at the site change (for example, new units are added or the system is
moved), airow checks should be made.
If the site has a raised oor, the room must have positive air pressure below the oor to
verify adequate airow. Remove all unused cables from the area below the raised oor
to prevent these areas from becoming dust and dirt traps.
Earthquake considerations
Consider whether earthquake-restraining equipment is needed for your storage system
installation.
In seismic-prone regions, use the appropriate ooring, racks, and fasteners to restrain
the storage system during earthquakes, prevent human injury, and limit potential
damage to system components.
