3.3.1 Installing the System in a Rack
The following procedure describes how to install the system in a rack.
System Damage
Environmental contamination can impair system operation. Locate the system in a stable
area free of excess movement and jarring and free of dust, smoke, and electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Make sure that the temperature does not exceed the operating
temperature given in the environmental requirements in this manual and allow room for
proper air flow for cooling.
System Overheating
Cooling Vents
Improper cooling can lead to blade and system damage and may void the manufacturer’s
warranty.
To ensure proper cooling and undisturbed airflow through the system always operate the
system in a horizontal position. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings at the front and
rear of the system. Keep the fresh air intake at the bottom-front side of the chassis
completely clear. Make sure that the fresh air supply is not mixed with hot exhaust from
other devices. Make sure that all slots are populated with either blades, filler blades, or
dummy blades.
Use power input cables with a cross section (minimum) of 4 mm
