Step 1: Choose a Suitable Installation Location
The Harmony Power System is intended for use indoors within an office environment.
The unit may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or it may be left
freestanding. When deciding where to install the Power System, ensure that:
• You are able to meet the configuration rules for Fast Ethernet (if applicable).
• The Power System is accessible and the cables can be connected easily.
• The cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, transmitters,
and broadband amplifiers.
• The cabling is away from power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the Power System.
• Airflow is not restricted around the Power System or through the side vents of the
unit (Proxim recommends a minimum of 25 mm (1 inch) clearance on all sides).
• No more than four Power System units are placed on top of one another if the
units are freestanding.
