3.3 Prepare the Site for Installation
To prepare your site for installing a CSG700 series appliance, follow the guidelines and requirements listed in this
article.
3.3.1 Site Preparation Guidelines
Install the appliance in an enclosed and secure environment, and allow only authorized personnel to access
the device.
Keep the area around the appliance free from dust and conductive material.
Follow ESD prevention procedures to avoid any damage to the appliance.
3.3.2 Environmental Requirements
Ensure that the area in which you operate the appliance has adequate air circulation so that the cooling
system functions normally. Ambient air temperature may not be sufficient to cool the chassis to acceptable
operating temperatures without adequate circulation.
Avoid temperature extremes.
High humidity conditions can cause moisture to penetrate into the chassis. The appliance can operate in
relative humidity of 10% to 85%, non-condensing.
3.3.3 Rack Requirements
You can mount a CSG700 series appliance in a 19-inch four-post rack using slide rails. Table 1 lists the rack
requirements.
Table 1: Rack Requirements for a CSG700 Series Appliance
Requirement Guidelines
Rack type Use a 19-inch four-post rack that has bracket holes spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or
4.45 cm) increments, and that has panels strong enough to support the
weight of the appliance.
Rack size Comply with the size and strength standards of a 19-inch rack. Ensure that
the rack rails are spaced wide enough to accommodate the external
dimensions of the appliance chassis. Ensure that the spacing of rails and the
adjacent racks allows for proper clearance around the appliance and the
rack.
Rack firmly secured to building
structure
Secure the rack to floor brackets and to ceiling brackets to ensure maximum
stability.
3.3.4 Airflow Requirements
A CSG700 series appliance has a fanless design and cools by airflow through the vents on the top of the appliance.
