Operational requirements
Site requirements
The server may be located in an oice space or a purpose-made equipment room. The location must:
• Comply with local health and safety regulations.
• Be clean, tidy, and free of excessive dust and vibration.
• Be in an area in which the server cannot easily be disconnected from its power source.
• Not be adjacent to or underneath any area or piece of equipment where liquid is stored.
• Not be in a place where the server might be bumped, scratched, or disturbed.
• Be within an area that is ideally locked or at minimum not accessible to unauthorized personnel.
• Be within patching distance, directly or via cable management cross-patches, of the location of the WAN connection
and the switch that supplies the oice/room floor network ports.
Space and airflow requirements
Leave at least a 10 cm (4 in) clearance space at the front and back of the server for proper ventilation.
CAUTION: The server draws in cool air through the ventilation openings on the front side, and expels warm air
through the ventilation openings on the rear side. Do not block these openings. Failure to observe this caution will
result in improper airflow and
insuicient cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Temperature requirements
To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well-ventilated, climate-
controlled environment.
The maximum recommended ambient operating temperature (TMRA) for most server products is 35°C (95°F). The
temperature in the room where the rack is located must not exceed 35°C (95°F).
