General Site Requirements

Site Selection Guidelines

Cisco 4000 Series ISRs require specific environmental operating conditions. Temperature, humidity,
altitude, and vibration can affect the performance and reliability of the router. The following sections
provide specific information to help you plan for the proper operating environment.
Cisco 4000 Series ISRs are designed to meet the industry EMC, safety, and environmental standards
described in the
document.

Site Environmental Requirements

Environmental monitoring in the router protects the system and components from damage caused by
excessive voltage and temperature conditions. To ensure normal operation and avoid unnecessary
maintenance, plan and prepare your site configuration before installation. After installation, make sure
the site maintains the environmental characteristics as shown in
Table 2-1
