Intended Application Uses

This product was evaluated as Information Technology Equipment (ITE), which may be installed in server rooms or computer rooms. The suitability of this product for other product categories and environments (such as medical, industrial, residential, alarm systems, and test equipment), other than an ITE application, may require further evaluation.

Site Selection

Restricted Access Location: The location for equipment is intended for installation only in a Server Room or Computer Room where both of the following apply:

  • Access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONS about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that shall be taken.
  • Access is through the use of a TOOL lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
  • This equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.

The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment. Choose a site that is:

  • Clean, dry, and free of airborne particles (other than normal room dust).
  • Well-ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight and radiators.
  • Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
  • Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
  • In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, we recommend you plug your system into a surge suppressor and disconnect telecommunication lines to your modem during an electrical storm.
  • Provided with a properly grounded wall outlet.
  • Provided with sufficient space to access the power supply cord(s), because they serve as the product’s main power.

Tools Required
