Site Wiring Guidelines

When planning the location of the router, consider distance limitations for signaling, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and connector compatibility. If the wiring is run for any significant distance in an electromagnetic field, interference can occur between the field and the signals on the wires. Poor wiring can cause:

• Radio interference emanating from the wires.

• Strong EMI, especially when caused by lightning or radio transmitters. EMI can destroy the signal

drivers and receivers in the router, and can even create an electrical hazard by conducting power surges through lines and into equipment.

Note To predict and remedy strong EMI, you may need to consult with experts in radio frequency

interference (RFI).

Site wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference if you use twisted-pair cable with a good distribution of grounding conductors. Use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal, when applicable.

Give special consideration to the effect of a lightning strike in your vicinity, especially if the wiring exceeds the recommended distances, or if it passes between buildings. The electromagnetic pulse (EMP) caused by lightning or other high-energy phenomena can easily induce enough energy into unshielded conductors to destroy electronic devices. If you have experienced EMP problems in the past, you may want to consult experts in electrical surge suppression and shielding.

Most data centers cannot resolve infrequent but potentially catastrophic problems without pulse meters and other special equipment. In addition, these problems can take a great deal of time to identify and resolve. We recommend that you take the necessary precautions to avoid these problems by providing a properly grounded and shielded environment, with special attention to issues of electrical surge suppression.

The fan trays maintain acceptable operating temperatures for the internal components by drawing in cool air through the air filter, and circulating the air through the card cage. Each power supply is also equipped with fans that draw cooler air into the front of the power supply and force warmer air out of the back of the chassis. For information about the types of fan trays used in the chassis, see Power

Module Fans, page 4-34.
