Chapter 3: Installation
16 J100 Hardware Manual
3.4 Install Location
• Don't expose your Jupiter product to rain, water, condensation, or moisture.
• Never install this product in a wet location.
• Install the system in reasonable proximity to all equipment with which it will connect.
• Don't place devices so close together that they are subject to recirculated heated air.
• J100 models have ventilation holes on either side. Air is pulled in from the right side and pushed out
the left side. Do not block either side. For this reason J100 models cannot be mounted on the side or
set on the side on a desk or shelf.
• Don't operate your system or Jupiter product near a heat source or restrict airflow to your system, and
make sure the ambient temperature doesn't exceed the maximum recommended temperatures. Don't
block ventilation holes on your unit or system.
3.5 Environmental Considerations
• Note that the temperature of the rack environment may be greater than ambient room temperature,
especially when the system is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly. Do not exceed the
maximum operating temperature specified.
• Ensure that the environment is free of dust and moisture, that the unit is not exposed to the elements
or temperature extremes, and has sufficient ventilation.
3.6 Power and Ground Cautions
• WARNING! The chassis must be properly grounded before powering up the equipment.
• Install the J100 unit in accordance with national and local electric codes to meet central office
requirements. Consult a qualified electrical consultant.
• Don't defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding-type plug has two blades and
a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug doesn't fit into your outlet, consult an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
• Make sure that nothing rests on the power cables and that the cables aren't located where they can
be stepped on, pinched, or tripped over.
• Don't use damaged power cables.
• Unplug your system or device during lightning storms or if unused for long periods of time.
