Environmental requirements and specifications

Safety requirements

Install the system in accordance with the local safety codes and regulations at the facility site. Follow all 

cautions and instructions marked on the equipment. Also, refer to the documentation included with your 

product’s ship kit.

Site requirements and guidelines

The following sections provide requirements and guidelines that you must address when preparing your site 

for the installation.
When selecting an installation site for the system, choose a location not subject to excessive heat, direct 

sunlight, dust, or chemical exposure. These conditions greatly reduce the system’s longevity and might void 

your warranty.

Site wiring and AC power requirements

The following are required for all installations using AC power supplies:
• Al  AC mains and supply conductors to power distribution boxes for the rack-mounted system must be 

enclosed in a metal conduit or raceway when specified by local, national, or other applicable 

government codes and regulations. 

• Ensure that the voltage and frequency of your power source match the voltage and frequency inscribed 

on the equipment’s electrical rating label.

• To ensure redundancy, provide two separate power sources for the enclosures. These power sources 

must be independent of each other, and each must be controlled by a separate circuit breaker at the 

power distribution point.

• The system requires voltages within minimum fluctuation. The customer-supplied facilities’ voltage must 

maintain a voltage with not more than ± 5 percent fluctuation. The customer facilities must also provide 

suitable surge protection.

• Site wiring must include an earth ground connection to the AC power source. The supply conductors 

and power distribution boxes (or equivalent metal enclosure) must be grounded at both ends.

• Power circuits and associated circuit breakers must provide sufficient power and overload protection. To 

prevent possible damage to the AC power distribution boxes and other components in the rack, use an 

external, independent power source that is isolated from large switching loads (such as air conditioning 

motors, elevator motors, and factory loads).

Site wiring and DC power requirements

The following are required for all installations using DC power supplies:
• Al  DC mains and supply conductors to power distribution boxes for the rack-mounted system must 

comply with local, national, or other applicable government codes and regulations. 

• Ensure that the voltage of your power source matches the voltage inscribed on the equipment’s 

electrical label.

• To ensure redundancy, provide two separate power sources for the enclosures. These power sources 

must be independent of each other, and each must be controlled by a separate circuit breaker at the 

power distribution point.

• The system requires voltages within minimum fluctuation. The customer-supplied facilities’ voltage must 

maintain a voltage within the range specified on the equipment’s electrical rating label. The customer 

facilities must also provide suitable surge protection.

• Site wiring must include an earth ground connection to the DC power source. Grounding must comply 

with local, national, or other applicable government codes and regulations.

• Power circuits and associated circuit breakers must provide sufficient power and overload protection.
