•
Ensure that all IP environment requirements are met, such as
Autonomous System (AS) number, port IP address and mask,
management Ethernet port IP address and mask, and broadcast
address.
Environmental Requirements
Choose a location for the system that is dry, relatively dust free, well
ventilated, and air conditioned. If you install equipment in a rack, be sure
that the floor is capable of supporting the combined weight of the rack
and the installed equipment. Place the system in a location with sufficient
access to power and network cables.
Like other network devices, the system generates a significant amount of
heat. It is important to provide a balanced environment so that the
system performs properly and safely. See
for acceptable ranges of temperature and humidity.
Be sure to allow enough space around the system for adequate
ventilation. Inadequate ventilation can cause the system to overheat. See
Appendix A, System Specifications
for details about space requirements.
Caution: Do not block the air vents on the ERX system. Otherwise, the system
may overheat.
Safety Guidelines
For your safety, before installing the system, review all safety warnings
specified in this section.
Temperature Warning: The recommended maximum ambient temperature is
50° C (122° F). The internal temperature of the rack should be considered for safe
operation.
Rack Installation Warning: Install equipment in the rack from the bottom upward.
This will maintain the stability of the rack and reduce the chance of the rack’s
tipping over.
Heavy Equipment Warning: Two people are required to lift an ERX system. Three
people are required to install an ERX system in a rack. The equipment is extremely
heavy.
Ground (Earth) Warning: Connect the ERX system or rack to ground (earth), and
ensure that a reliable grounding path is maintained in the rack.
