Installing and Maintaining the C300 System 13

Preparing the Site

Site Selection Criteria

Before beginning the installation process, make sure that the area where you intend to install your C300

meets the following safety requirements:

• It is in a restricted access area.

• It is in a dry, clean, well-ventilated, temperature-controlled room, that is away from heat sources such as

hot air vents or direct sunlight.

• It is away from sources of severe electromagnetic noise.

• Power supply is adequate for power requirements.

• Connect the C300 System to the appropriate branch circuit protection as defined by local

electrical codes.

WARNING: The C300 does not have a main disconnect device installed. It is the responsibility of the

installer to provide a suitable disconnecting device in the building installation and ensure that it is located/

installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.

• It is positioned in a rack with adequate space in the front, rear, and sides of the unit for proper

ventilation, access to cables, and maintenance access.

• Allow at least six inches (16 cm) of clearance around the side intake and exhaust vents.

• Allow at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) between two C300s or an C300 and another side airflow

chassis.

• Allow at least 18 inches in the front and 20 inches in the rear of the rack.

NOTE: The C-Series does not have an air filter, so take special care in making sure that the installation site

and the chassis itself are cleaned regularly.
