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. To see
translations of this warning, refer to the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information document that
accompanied this product.
The site must satisfy the following requirements:
Space
The standalone IGX 8410 node requires a floor area 19.9 inches (50.5 cm) wide and at least
47 in. (180 cm) deep. This depth allows for opening the front door. Sufficient clearance around the
cabinet must also be provided for access to the front and back of the cabinet while the door is open.
The rack-mount IGX 8410 node requires 24.44 inches of vertical space.
A standalone IGX 8420 or IGX 8430 node requires a floor area 19.9 inches (50.5 cm) wide and at
least 47 in. (119.4 cm) deep. This spacing lets you open the front door. Clearance around the cabinet
must also allow access to the front and back of the cabinet while the door is open. The rack-mount
IGX 8430 requires 32 in. (81.3 cm) of vertical space. The rack-mount IGX 8430 node requires 55 in.
(139.7 cm) of vertical space.
In a rack-mount system, the mounting rail pattern follows the EIA standard of 56 in. (or
32 rack-mount units). For displacement information for the IGX components and other components
in the Cisco cabinet, refer to Appendix A, General IGX 8410 Switch Specifications.
Environment
The IGX operating environment should be as follows:
Temperature and humidity range: 0 to 40°C (32 to 104° F) for normal operation, 50°C (122°F) for
up to 72 hours. 10 to 85 percent relative humidity, noncondensing.
ShockThe switch withstands 10 G, 10 ms at 1/2 sine wave.
VibrationThe switch withstands 1/4 G, 20 to 500 Hz.
Power
For AC power use, an AC power source must be available within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the IGX node. For
systems using a DC source, Cisco does not supply the DC power cord, so the user or installer
determines the cord length and the distance to the DC source. The wire should be 1012 AWG or
4 square mm.
