Installation
The RPS may be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack.
Caution: DO NOT place the RPS on the floor as the case is not waterproof. It is
recommended that this RPS be installed in a network equipment rack.
Caution: Use only the RPS cables supplied with the unit. Using any other cables may
damage the equipment.
Selecting a Site
RPS units can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a flat surface.
Be sure to follow the guidelines below when choosing a location.
• The site should:
• be at the center of all the devices you want to link and near a power outlet.
• be able to maintain its temperature within 0 to 45 °C (32 to 110 °F) and its
humidity within 5% to 95%, non-condensing
• provide adequate space (approximately two inches) on all sides for proper air
flow
• be accessible for installing, cabling and maintaining the devices
• allow the status LEDs to be clearly visible
• Make sure that a separate grounded power outlet that provides 100 to 240
VAC, 50-60 Hz, is within 2 m (6.56 feet) of each device and is powered from an
independent circuit breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge
suppressor is recommended.
