SSG 500 M Series Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide
24 Before You Begin
Before You Begin
The location of the chassis, the layout of the equipment rack, and the security of
your wiring room are crucial for proper device operation.
Observing the following precautions can prevent shutdowns, equipment failures,
and injuries:
Before installation, always check that the power supply is disconnected from
any power source.
Ensure that the room in which you operate the device has adequate air
circulation and that the room temperature does not exceed
104° F (40° C).
Allow three feet (one meter) of clear space to the front and back of the device.
Do not place the device in an equipment-rack frame that blocks an intake or
exhaust port. Ensure that enclosed racks have fans and louvered sides.
This device exceeds 18 pounds (8.2 kilograms). Take precautions when lifting
and stabilizing the device.
Correct these hazardous conditions before any installation: moist or wet floors,
leaks, ungrounded or frayed power cables, or missing safety grounds.
Installing Equipment
You can rack-mount a device into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The device is
shipped with mounting brackets.
You can mid- or front-mount a SSG 500M Series device in a rack. In general, a
center-mount rack is preferable to a front-mount rack because the more even
distribution of weight in the center-mount rack provides greater stability.
To mount a device, you need a number-2 phillips screwdriver (not provided) and
four screws that are compatible with the equipment rack (not provided).
CAUTION: To prevent abuse and intrusion by unauthorized personnel, install the
device in a secure environment.
NOTE:
If you are installing multiple devices in one rack, install the lowest one first and
proceed upward in the rack.
CAUTION: The chassis weighs between 18 lb. (8.2 kg) and 24 lb. (10.9 kg).
Installing it into the rack requires at least one person to lift the device and a
second person to secure the mounting screws.
