Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clearance at its left and right sides for airflow clearance from the
inlet and exhaust vents, and that no exhaust air from other equipment is drawn into the SCE 1000.
For descriptions and illustrations regarding airflow, see
Do not place the SCE 1000 on the floor during installation. Dust that accumulates on the floor is
drawn into the interior of the SCE 1000 by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the SCE 1000 can
cause over-temperature conditions and component failures.
Allow at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance at the front and rear of the SCE 1000 for installing
and rudimentary maintenance for accessing network cables or equipment.
Ensure that the SCE 1000 will receive adequate ventilation. Do not install the SCE 1000 in an
enclosed cabinet where ventilation is inadequate!
Provide an adequate chassis Ground (earth) connection for the SCE 1000 (see
Chassis Ground Connection, page 4-13
Information About Site Requirement Guidelines, page 4-3
for instructions).
