Preparing Your Site for Installation
Preparing Your Site for Installation
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation
and operation of your Cisco Secure SE 1113. Ensure that your site is prepared
properly before beginning installation.
Environmental
When planning your site layout and equipment locations, take the following
precautions to help prevent equipment failures and reduce the possibility of
environmentally caused shutdowns. If you are experiencing shutdowns or
unusually high errors with your existing equipment, these precautions will help
you isolate the cause of failures and prevent future problems:
• Always follow the electrostatic discharge prevention procedures described in
the Installation and Setup Guide for Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine to
avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause
immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
• Ensure the chassis cover is secure. The chassis is designed to allow cooling
air to flow effectively within it. An open chassis allows air leaks, which could
interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from internal components.
• Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be
adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without
adequate circulation. Ensure that the room in which you operate has adequate
air circulation.
Choosing a Site for Installation
Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted
access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and
key, or other means of security.
• Choose a site with a dry, clean, well-ventilated and air-conditioned area.
• Choose a site that maintains an ambient temperature of 32 to 95°F (0 to
35°C).
