Site selection
Install your equipment in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is one where
service personnel can only gain access using a special tool, lock, key, or other means of
security. The authority responsible for the location controls access to the restricted area.
Ensure that the area where you install your switch meets the following safety
requirements:
•
Near an adequate power source. Connect the switch to the appropriate branch circuit
protection according to your local electrical codes.
•
Environmental—switch location—continuous temperature range is from 5° to 40°C
(50° to 104°F).
•
Operating humidity is from 5 to 85 percent non-condensing, continuous.
•
In a dry, clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled room, away from heat
sources such as hot cooling vents or direct sunlight.
•
Away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.
•
Positioned in a rack or cabinet, or on a desktop with adequate space in the front, back,
and sides for proper ventilation and access.
•
Install the switch in Information Technology Rooms in accordance with Article 645 of
the National Electrical Code and NFPA 75.
