Preparation

This section describes the initial set up and preparation for installing the ZTX MSS Appliance.

The following topics are covered in this section:

Site Selection

The following criteria should be considered when selecting a site to install the device in a Data Center environment:

  • Temperature and Ventilation: For proper ventilation, install the ZTX MSS Appliance with ample airflow to the front and back of the device.

    Important: To prevent the device from overheating, do not operate it in an area where the ambient temperature exceeds 104°F (40°C).

    Pour empêcher l’interrupteur de surchauffe, ne pas utiliser il dans une zone où la température ambiante est supérieure à 104°F (40°C).

     

  • Airflow Orientation: The fans and PSUs determine the airflow direction through the device. The color of the visible handles or labels indicates the airflow direction.

    • Red Handle: The red handle represents the air exit module. The following figure shows the airflow direction through the device with an air exit module.

    Orient the device so airflow goes from the cooler to the hotter aisle.

     

  • Rack Space: Install the device in a 19" rack or cabinet. The accessory kit provides mounting brackets for two-post and four-post racks.

    When mounting the device in a partially filled rack, load the rack from bottom to top, with the heaviest equipment at the bottom. If this device is the only item in the rack, load it at the bottom.

     

  • Power Requirements: Each device and power supply model has different power requirements. For information regarding your specific system, refer to Specifications.

    Refer to the Cable the Device section for power cable requirements.

    Important: The power input plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times, as itprovides the primary method of disconnecting power from the system.

    La combinaison de la puissance-prise d’entrée doit être accessible en tout temps; Il fournit le principal moyen de coupure d’alimentation du système.

     

    Important: All power connections must be removed to de-energize the device.

    Toutes les connexions d’alimentation doivent être enlevées pour hors tension l’appareil.

     

  • Other Requirements: Select a site where liquids or objects cannot fall onto the equipment and foreign objects are not drawn into the ventilation holes. Verify the following guidelines are met:

    • Clearance areas to the front and rear panels allow for unrestricted cabling.

    • All front and rear panel indicators can be easily read.

    • Power cords can reach from the power outlet to the connector on the rear panel.

Tools and Parts Required for Installation

Each product comes with an accessory kit containing the parts required to install. In addition to the accessory kit, the following tools are required to install the device:

Four-post Rack

  • #1 and #3 Phillips head screwdrivers (this may differ based on supplied accessories)
  • Screws or rack-mounting nuts and bolts

Two-post Rack

  • #1 and #3 Phillips head screwdrivers (this may differ based on supplied accessories)
  • Screws or rack-mounting nuts and bolts

The accessory kit should include screws for attaching the device to an equipment rack. When installing the device into an equipment rack with unthreaded post holes, nuts and bolts are also required to secure the device to the rack posts.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

Observe these guidelines to avoid ESD damage when installing or servicing the device:

Important: DO NOT open the device case. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Entrust any repair to a qualified technician.

 

N’ouvrez PAS le boîtier du routeur. Il n’y a AUCUNE pièce réparable par l’utilisateur à l’intérieur. Confiez toute réparation à un technicien qualifié.

 

  • Assemble or disassemble the equipment only in a static-free work area.
  • A conductive work surface (such as an anti-static mat) dissipates static charge.
  • Wear a conductive wrist strap to dissipate static charge accumulation.
  • Minimize handling of assemblies and components.
  • Keep replacement parts in their original static-free packaging.
  • Remove all plastic, foam, vinyl, paper, and other static-generating materials from the work area.
  • Select tools that do not create ESD.
