Selecting The Installation Site - Siemens HiPath 5000 Service Manual

Selecting the Installation Site

Selecting a site
The customer usually has a preferred installation site in mind.
Make sure that the customer's site meets the following guidelines:
To guarantee sufficient system ventilation, allow a minimum of 10 cm clearance in front of
●
and behind the housing.
Do not expose the systems to direct sources of heat (for example sunlight and heaters).
●
Do not expose the systems to extremely dusty environments.
●
Avoid contact with chemicals.
●
Take every precaution to prevent the formation of condensation on the system during op-
●
eration. Systems covered with condensation must be dried before being used.
Observe the environmental conditions specified in Section 2.11.
●
For U.S. Only:
Install secondary-protection equipment.
●
Avoid standard carpeting, as it tends to produce electrostatic charges.
●
Ensure the availability of a power source that meets the requirements described in
●
Section 4.3.3.1.1.
Ensure that Siemens equipment is 40 in. (101.6 cm) from other electrical equipment. The
●
National Electrical Code (NEC) requires 36 in. (91.44 cm) of clearance in front of electrical
equipment and 40 in. (101.6 cm) of clearance from other electrical service equipment.
The equipment room for the system should provide adequate space for installation and
●
maintenance activities (such as removing and replacing boards). Leave at least 16 in. (42
cm) on all sides of the system, and 36 in. (16 cm) in front.
Information on the design of the HiPath 3750 can be found in Section 2.2.2.2.
