Installation prerequisites

This topic covers the following items:

Intended audience

This topic is intended primarily for the on-site technical personnel who are responsible for installing the system and performing initial administration and acceptance testing.�However, the general precautions are intended for both installers and system administrators.

Safety and security alert labels

This topic uses the following symbols to call your attention to potential problems that could cause personal injury, damage to equipment, loss of data, service interruptions, or breaches of toll fraud security.

Caution:� Indicates the presence of a hazard that, if not avoided, can or will cause minor personal injury or property damage, including loss of data.

Warning!:� Indicates the presence of a hazard that, if not avoided, can cause death or severe personal injury.

General precautions

Note: The following applies for Message Networking installations in Sweden, Finland, and Norway only.

Message Networking system relies on a ground connection through the main plug with an earth contact.�Because of unreliable earthing concerns in Sweden, Finland and Norway, Message Networking must be installed by service personnel in a restricted access location.�A restricted access location is defined as a location to which access can be gained only by service personnel or customers who have been instructed about the reasons for the restricted access and any safety precautions that must be taken.�In these cases, access to the Message Networking system is gained by the use of a tool (such as a lock and key) or other means of security.

Caution: Lithium battery(ies) are included with this system.�Do not puncture, mutilate, or dispose of battery(ies) in fire.�Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.�Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by manufacturer.�Dispose of used batteries in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and your local regulations.

ATTENTION:� Il y a danger d’explosion s’IL y a remplacement incorrect de la batterie.� Remplacer uniquement avec une batterie du m�me type ou d’un type �quivalent recommand� par le constructeur.� Mettre au rebut les batteries usag�es conform�ment aux instructions du fabricant.

Site preparation

This section describes physical requirements for the installation site, which include:

Environmental considerations

Place the Message Networking system in an area where the environmental conditions shown in the following table are maintained.

Operating state

Temperature

Humidity

Operating

+10 to +35�C

(+50 to +95�F)

20 to 80%, noncondensing

Non-operating (in storage or being shipped)

-20 to +60�C

(-4 to+140�F)

20 to 80%, noncondensing

Installation area considerations

Caution: Observe the following when determining where to place the Message Networking system:

  • Use only the power cord assembly provided to connect the Message Networking to an AC main outlet.�
  • Install the Message Networking system within 6 feet (2m) of a grounded AC main outlet.��
  • Do not use extension cords with the Message Networking system.
  • Ensure that the AC main outlet to be used to power the Message Networking system (via the power cord) is a grounded outlet. If you are unsure of the ground integrity of the outlet, have a trained and certified electrician check the outlet.
  • Consideration must be given to the connection of the Message Networking system to a branch circuit with respect to overload or overcurrent protection. Check the Message Networking ratings to ensure that, together with other equipment connected to the same branch circuit, an overcurrent or overload condition does not exist.
  • Maintain an air-distribution system that provides adequately cooled, filtered, and humidity-controlled air.
  • Do not install the Message Networking system such that the ventilation or fan openings will be blocked.

Note: The following applies for Message Networking installations in Sweden, Finland, and Norway only. Message Networking relies on a ground connection through the main plug with an earth contact. Because of unreliable earthing concerns in Sweden, Finland and Norway, the Message Networking must be installed by Service Personnel in a restricted access location. A restricted access location is defined as a location to which access can be gained only by service personnel or customers who have been instructed about the reasons for the restricted access and any safety precautions that must be taken.�In these cases, access to the Message Networking is gained by the use of a tool (such as a lock and key) or other means of security.

Weight and space considerations

The following table lists the approximate weight, height, width, and depth of each system.
 
Weight Height Width Depth
29 lb
(13 kg)
19 in.
(49 cm)
9 in.
(23 cm) with stabilizing feet
18 in.
(46 cm)

Add 3 inches (7.6 cm) to accommodate a rear chassis cable support bracket. If required, add 4 inches (10.2 cm) to accommodate a 356B adapter and mounting clip.

The following table lists the approximate weight, height, width, and depth for the monitor and keyboard.
 
Peripheral Weight Height Width Depth
Monitor 27 LB
(12.2 kg)
14 in.
(35 cm)
14 in.
(36 cm)
15.4 in.
(39 cm)
Keyboard 5 LB
(2.3 kg)
2.5 in.
(6.4 cm)
19 in.
(48 cm)
8 in.
(20.5 cm)

A monitor is not necessarily ordered and shipped for each system. The weight and space considerations listed are for those shipments that include a Sampo 15-inch monitor.

Power requirements

The following table lists the power requirements for the system.
 
Attribute Requirement
Volts AC (VAC) 100–220
Hertz (Hz) 60
Phase Single
Amps
(US)
5A (maximum)
AMPS
(International)
�������—
Input cords NEMA 5–15P plug; 6 ft (2 m) long
Unit input receptacles IEC320 inlet
Maximum Power Output 200 W
Heat Dissipation 682 BTU

In addition to the above power requirements, you must also:

  • Locate each unit within 6 feet (2 meters) of its power receptacle.
  • Keep the communication cables separate from the power cables.
  • Install communication and power cables in accordance with National Electrical Codes (NEC).

Caution: Use only shielded cables and equipment with the system to maintain safe levels of electromagnetic compatibility.

Shipment contents

The customer should have received boxes containing the computer, keyboard, and monitor (if ordered).

Be sure that you have the following items packed in the box or boxes:

  • The chassis. Turn out the stabilizing feet on the bottom of the computer case.
  • One 6-foot to 8-foot (2-meter to 3-meter) power cord (depending on country in which you are doing the installation)
  • The keyboard with onboard mouse and split connector cord
  • One 4-pin RJ-11 cable for each voice port purchased
  • One LAN cable
  • One monitor and power cord, if ordered
  • One maintenance modem and required cables

Saving packing materials

Save the shipping carton and all packing materials to use in case you have to return the system to the manufacturer. If you ordered multiple systems, saving one carton and one set of packing materials should be sufficient. Packing materials include:

  • Antistatic bags
  • Cardboard and foam inlays

Note: The packing materials can also include a plastic bag designed to protect the system from moisture during shipment. Discard this bag. It is not reusable.

Also save the shipping cartons for the keyboard and monitor.
