Site Requirements for the Sentriant AG Appliance
The Sentriant AG200 appliance can be rack-mounted in a standard 19-inch rack.
Locate the system away from heat sources and in an area that provides unobstructed air flow to the
chassis cooling vents. The chassis intake ambient air temperature should not exceed 95 ºF (35 ºC) or
drop below 41ºF (5º C).
CAUTION
Do not place a monitor or other object on top of the system. The mounting brackets and chassis cover are not
designed to support additional weight.
Make sure that the voltage and frequency of the power source matches the electrical ratings of the
Sentriant AG appliance, and that the building and/or power source provides overload protection.
Operating humidity should be kept between 10% and 95% relative humidity (noncondensing).
In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, we recommend that you plug your system into a
surge suppressor.
Rack Ventilation Requirements
● Make sure that there is a minimum of 3 inches of airspace at the back of the chassis.
● Open-type racks should meet the manufacturer’s recommended ventilation requirements.
● Enclosed-type racks should have a louvered front and back with a fan to dissipate heat generated by
equipment mounted in the rack.
● If you are installing the Sentriant AG appliance in enclosed racks with top-mounted ventilation fans,
make sure that there is adequate ventilation for the racks. Heat generated by equipment mounted in
the bottom of the rack can be drawn up into equipment mounted in the top of the rack.
● Chassis intake ambient air temperature should not exceed 95º F (35º C).
