Safety and ESD Considerations

To ensure a safe and trouble-free installation, follow these recommendations:

• Site and Installation Considerations

• General Safety

• Electrical Precautions

• Reducing the Risk of ESD Damage

Site and Installation Considerations

To ensure a safe and trouble-free site and installation, follow these guidelines:

• Maximum recommended operating temperature

The maximum recommended long-term operating temperature for the SmartEdge 100 system is 104°F

(40°C). Determine a suitable operating environment based on this recommendation.

• Elevated operating ambient temperature

If the chassis is installed in a closed or multiunit rack, the operating temperature of the rack environment

can be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Remember this condition when you install the

chassis.

• Reduced airflow

Install the SmartEdge 100 chassis in the rack so that the airflow required for the safe operation of the

equipment is not compromised. Air inflow is at the front of the chassis; air outflow is at the rear of the

chassis.

• Mechanical loading

Ensure you do not create a potentially hazardous condition from uneven loading when you select the

mounting position in the rack for the SmartEdge 100 chassis.
