Do not push any objects into the openings of the Cisco CTE 1450 components. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
Position system cables and power cables carefully; route system cables and the power cable and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on your system component cables or power cable.
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications. Always follow your local and national wiring rules.

Note For translations of safety warnings, see "Translated Safety Warnings."

The following guidelines will help ensure your safety and protect the equipment. This list does not cover all potentially hazardous situations, so be alert.

The installation of your Cisco CTE 1450 should be in compliance with national and local electrical codes. In the United States, the relevant code is National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, United States National Electrical Code. In Canada, it is Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CC22.1. In other countries, you should observe the standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 364, part 1 through part 7.
Review the safety warnings listed in "Translated Safety Warnings," before installing, configuring, troubleshooting, or maintaining the Cisco CTE 1450.
Never attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for one person to lift alone. If you are not sure how much a particular object or device weighs, see the appropriate device specifications listed in the tables in "Technical Specifications."
Always turn OFF all power supplies and unplug all power cables before opening, installing, or removing a Cisco CTE 1450.
Keep the area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
Keep tools and chassis components away from walk areas.
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry (including rings and chains), or other items that might become trapped in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.
The Cisco CTE 1450 ships with 3-wire electrical grounding-type plugs, which will fit only into grounding-type power outlets. This is a safety feature. The equipment grounding should be in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
Be sure to use the Cisco CTE 1450 in accordance with its marked electrical ratings and product usage instructions to guarantee safe operation.

Maintaining Safety with Electricity

Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:

If any of the following conditions occur, contact the Cisco TAC:

The power cable, extension cable, or plug is damaged
An object has fallen into the product
The product has been exposed to water
The product has been dropped or damaged
The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions

Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult the Cisco TAC or a local power company.
To help prevent electric shock, plug the Cisco CTE 1450, components, and peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the extension cable with properly grounded plugs.
To help protect your Cisco CTE 1450 from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site modifications. Always follow your local and national wiring rules.

Power Protection Devices

A number of devices are available that protect against power problems such as power surges, transient currents, and power failures. The following subsections describe some of these devices.

Surge Protectors

Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level of protection commensurate with the cost of the device. Surge protectors prevent voltage spikes, such as those caused during an electrical storm, from entering a system through the electrical outlet. Surge protectors, however, do not offer protection against brownouts, which occur when the voltage drops more than 20 percent below the normal AC line voltage level.

Line Conditioners

Line conditioners go beyond the overvoltage protection of surge protectors. Line conditioners keep the voltage of a system's AC power source at a fairly constant level and, therefore, can handle brownouts. Because of this added protection, line conditioners cost more than surge protectors—up to several hundred dollars. However, these devices cannot protect against a complete loss of power.

Uninterruptable Power Supplies

UPS systems offer the most complete protection against variations in power because they use battery power to keep the system running when AC power is lost. The battery is charged by the AC power while it is available, so once AC power is lost, the battery can provide power to the system for a limited amount of time—from 15 minutes to an hour or so—depending on the UPS system.

UPS systems range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, with the more expensive units allowing you to run larger systems for a longer period of time when AC power is lost. UPS systems that provide only 5 minutes of battery power let you conduct an orderly shutdown of the system, but are not intended to provide continued operation. Surge protectors should be used with all UPS systems, and the UPS system should be Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety-approved.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your computer. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer's electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the computer chassis.

As you continue to work inside the computer, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to remove any static charge your body might have accumulated.

You can also take the following precautions to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in your computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

Preventing Electromagnetic Interference

When you run wires for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, electromagnetic interference (EMI) can occur between the field and the signals on the wires.

Note the following:

Bad plant wiring can result in radio frequency interference (RFI).
Strong EMI, especially when it is caused by lightning or radio transmitters, can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the system, and can even create an electrical hazard by conducting power surges through lines and into the system.

To predict and remedy strong EMI, consult RFI experts.

Preparing Your Site for Installation

This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and operation of your Cisco CTE 1450. Ensure that your site is properly prepared before beginning installation.

Site Environment

The environmental monitoring functionality in the Cisco CTE 1450 protects it and its components from potential damage from overvoltage and overtemperature conditions. After installation, make sure the site maintains an ambient temperature of 50 to 95°F (10 to 35°C), and keep the area around the chassis as free from dust as is practical.

When planning your site layout and equipment locations, keep in mind the precautions described in this section to help prevent equipment failures and reduce the possibility of environmentally caused shutdowns. If you are currently experiencing shutdowns or unusually high errors with your existing equipment, these precautions will help you isolate the cause of failures and prevent future problems.

Use the following precautions when planning the operating environment for your Cisco CTE 1450:

Always follow the precautions recommended in the "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" section to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
Make sure the chassis cover is secure. The chassis is designed to allow cooling air to flow effectively within it. An open chassis allows air leaks, which could interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from internal components.
Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Make sure that the room in which you operate has adequate air circulation.

Choosing a Site for Installation

Warning This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Choose a site with a dry, clean, well-ventilated and air-conditioned area.
Choose a site that maintains an ambient temperature of 50 to 95°F (10 to 35°C).

Grounding the Cisco CTE 1450

Creating a Safe Environment

Follow these guidelines to create a safe operating environment:

Keep tools and chassis components off the floor and away from foot traffic.
Clear the area of possible hazards, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Keep the area around the chassis free from dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal flakes from nearby construction activity).

Site Requirements

This section describes how to prepare the site for the Cisco CTE 1450.

Environmental

This section describes environmental conditions and precautions required for the Cisco CTE 1450 to function correctly, including factors such as temperature, ventilation, and space requirements. Please review the information shown in Table 2-1 and confirm that the site you wish to place your Cisco CTE 1450 in meets these requirements.

Plant Wiring

Following are guidelines for setting up the plant wiring and cabling at your site. When planning the location of the new system, consider the distance limitations for signaling, EMI, and connector compatibility. Each issue and its effect on Cisco CTE 1450 site planning is described in the sections that follow.

Interference Considerations

When wires are run for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur between the field and the signals on the wires. The potential presence of interference has two implications for the construction of plant wiring:

Bad wiring practice can result in RFI emanating from the plant wiring.
Strong EMI, especially when it is caused by lightning or radio transmitters, can destroy the signal drivers and receivers in the Cisco CTE 1450. EMI can even create an electrical hazard by conducting power surges through lines and into equipment. For more information on the effects of EMI, review the safety warnings in the section "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage".

Note To predict and remedy strong EMI, you might also need to consult experts in RFI.

Follow these guidelines to reduce the possibility of extraneous interference and damage from EMI pulses:

Use twisted-pair cable in your plant wiring with a good distribution of grounding conductors to reduce or eliminate the chance of RFI. If you must exceed the recommended wiring distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal.
If wires exceed recommended distances or pass between buildings, give special consideration to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity. The electromagnetic pulse caused by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily couple enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy electronic devices. If you have had problems of this sort in the past, you might want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.

Distance Limitations and Interface Specifications

The size of your networks and the distances between connections depend on the type of signal, the signal speed, and the transmission media (the type of cabling used to transmit signals). For example, standard coaxial cable has a greater channel capacity than twisted-pair cabling and can transmit signals more clearly for a greater distance.

The distance and rate limits in the following descriptions are the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) recommended maximum speeds and distances for signaling.

Note Cisco recommends that you not exceed specified transmission rate and distance limits. However, if you understand the electrical problems that might arise and can compensate for them, you can obtain good results with rates and distances greater than those shown here. For example, the recommended maximum rate for V.35 is 2 Mbps. Still, it is commonly used at 4 Mbps without any problems. Be advised that you exceed the recommended limits at your own risk.

When preparing your site for network connections to the Cisco CTE 1450, you must consider a number of factors related to each type of interface:

Type of cabling required for each type (fiber, thick or thin coaxial, foil twisted-pair [FTP], or unshielded twisted-pair [UTP] cabling)
Distance limitations for each signal type
Specific cables you need to connect each interface
Any additional interface equipment you need, such as transceivers, hubs, switches, modems, channel service units (CSUs), or data service units (DSUs)

For ordering information for any additional special equipment that you might require, contact a Cisco customer service representative (see Obtaining Technical Assistance). Keep in mind, however, that the Cisco CTE 1450 is preconfigured in the configuration that you ordered. All devices, cables, documentation, and miscellaneous parts should be included with the system.

Precautions for Rack-M ounting

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also, refer to any installation documentation accompanying the rack for specific warning and caution statements and procedures.

Servers, storage systems, and appliances are considered components in a rack. Thus, "component" refers to any server, storage system, or appliance, as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.

Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack, a minimum of two people are needed to accomplish this task.
Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the rack.
Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
Do not step on or stand on any system or component when servicing other system or components in a rack.

Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Observe the following guidelines when working with options:

Do not connect or use a modem or telephone during a lightning storm. There is a risk of electrical shock from lightning.
Never connect or use a modem or telephone in a wet environment.
Do not plug a modem or telephone cable into the network interface card (NIC) receptacle.

Caution Always install the cable management arm during the initial installation of the rack kit. See "Installing the Cisco CTE 1450," for instructions on installing the cable management arm. Failure to properly install the cable management arm and its associated support bracket could result in accidental disengagement of the system while you are extending the rack rail slides and could potentially cause damage to the system or cause you bodily harm.
