Required Work Area
Before unpacking the chassis, make sure that you have a large,
dust-free, clean, and electrostatically safe work area.
Positioning the
2072RPU Chassis
To correctly position the chassis, make sure you:
❏
Place the chassis near two AC outlets, preferably on sepa-
rate circuits
❏
Place the chassis within 100 meters if you are using
twisted pair cable (10BaseT); 185 meters for thin Ether-
net cable (10Base2), two kilometers for fiber optic cable
(10BaseF)
❏
Leave a two-inch clearance around the ventilation grills.
❖
Note: Do not place the chassis near sources of electrical
interferences, such as motors or heavy current switches.
❖
Normal office temperature and humidity generally suit this type of
equipment (operating temperature: 0
° to 40 ° C ambient).
Desk Mounting the
Chassis
To desk mount the chassis, do the following steps:
1
Peel the protective strips from the self-adhesive feet and
apply the feet in the four corners of the base of the chassis.
❖ Note: Make sure your desk or table can support approxi-
mately 40 lbs for a fully loaded chassis.
❖
2
Place the chassis on a flat, stable surface.
