Working with Electricity
Follow these guidelines when working on electrical equipment:
• Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working. If an electrical
accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn off the system.
• Disconnect all power by powering off the system and unplugging the power cord before:
–
Installing or removing a chassis
–
Working near power supplies
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check the circuit.
• Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, underground power
extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety grounds
• If an electrical accident occurs:
–
Use caution: do not become a victim yourself.
–
Power off the system.
–
If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the victim’s condition,
then call for help.

Preparing Your Site for Installation
Preventing Damage from Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs
when electronic components are handled improperly and can result in complete or intermittent failures.
• Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components. Verify that
the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, making
sure that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the
chassis frame to safely ground ESD voltages. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks,
the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by
touching the metal part of the chassis.
• Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10
Mohms.
Preventing EMI
When you run wires for anysignificantdistance in an electromagnetic field,electromagnetic interference
(EMI) can occur between the field and the signals on the wires.
Note that:
• 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.
Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Covering Empty Slots
Ensure that all cards, faceplates, and covers are in place. Blank faceplates and cover panels are used to:
• Prevent exposure to voltages and currents inside the chassis.
• Help contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment.
• Direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis.
Preparing Your Site for Installation
Make sure your site is prepared properly before beginning installation.
Environmental
When planning your site layout and equipment locations, keep in mind the precautions described in this
section to help avoid 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 IE2100 Series.

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
• Always follow the ESD-prevention procedures described in the section “Preventing Damage from
Electrostatic Discharge” 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 floweffectively
within it. An open chassis allows air leaks, which could interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air
from internal components.
• Electrical equipment generates hear. 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
Preparing Your 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 32 to 104 degrees F (0 to 40 degreesC).
Grounding the System
Warning
Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed
ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you
are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
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).

AC Power
Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
• The system is designed for connection to TN power systems. A TN power system is a power
distribution system with one point connected directly to earth (ground). The exposed conductive
parts of the installation are connected to that point by protective earth conductors.
• Ensure that the plug-socket combination is accessible at all times, because it serves as the main
disconnecting device.
The IE2100 Series has the following power requirements:
• Universal input: 100-127/200-240 VAC
• Frequency: 50-60HZ
• Maximum power: 65 watts

Warning
Warning
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Make
sure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. and 240 VAC, 10A international
are used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
The device is designed to work with TN power systems.
Use the cables in the accessory kit to connect the IE2100 Series console port to a console or computer
that is running a console program. In addition to the console cable, you must supply your own standard
Ethernet cable to connect the IE2100 Series to your network. This section details the pinout information
for these cables, so that you can purchase the correct cable for your network connection, and replace the
console cable and adapters if that becomes necessary.
A structured wiring system provides a standardized way to wire a building for all types of networks for
the IE2100 Series appliance to be installed. The main distribution frame links all the building’s interior
wiring and provides an interface connection to circuits coming from outside sources such as the local
telephone company. Wiring hubs (peripherals for cabling installations) provide the connection logic
unique to Fast Ethernet cables that the IE2100 Series uses. Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper wire
is used to connect the IE2100 Series and distributes the network connections to wall jacks near each
piece of network equipment.
Warning
The ports labeled “10BaseT”, “100BaseTX”, and “10/100” are safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
circuits. SELV circuits should only be connected to other SELV circuits. Avoid connecting these
circuits to telephone network voltage (TNV) circuits.
Ethernet Standards
To connect the IE2100 Series to your network, you must use one of the following Fast Ethernet cables:

• An RJ-45 to RJ-45 crossover cable to connect the IE2100 Series to another device
OL-1570-01
Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
The Ethernet configuration using unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wire is known as 10BaseT because it
uses 10 megabits per second (Mbps) signaling speed, direct current, or baseband, signaling, and twisted
pair wire.This configuration includes a central wiring hub with special circuitry to isolate
malfunctioning segments of the network. UTP wire uses an RJ-45 connector at each end of the wire. New
signaling schemes such as 100BaseT and gigabit Ethernet use the same UTP cabling with upgraded hubs
and adapters.
Use a CAT 5 UTP cable at minimum to connect to a 100BaseT network. Use a CAT 3 UTP cable at
minimum to connect to a 10BaseT network.
Table 2-1 on page 2-7 shows the pinouts for a straight-through 100BaseT cable.

Rack-Mounting the System
A rack-mount kit is included for mounting the IE2100 Series in a standard 19-inch equipment rack with
two unobstructed outer posts. This kit cannot be used with other racks, such as a telco-type equipment
rack, or those with obstructions (such as a power strip) that could impair access to the hard disk and
power supplies. Allow sufficient clearance around the rack for system maintenance.
Warning
Ensuring Proper Airflow
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.
Follow these guidelines to ensure proper airflow:
• Install the system in an open rack whenever possible. If installation in an enclosed rack is
unavoidable, ensure that the rack has adequate ventilation.
• Maintain ambient airflow to ensure normal operation. If the airflow is blocked or restricted, or if the
intake air is too warm, an overtemperature condition can occur.
• Allow at least 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clearance around the ventilation openings of the chassis.

Required Tools and Equipment
• Avoid placing the system in an overly congested rack or directly next to another equipment rack.
Heat exhaust from other equipment can enter the inlet air vents and cause an overtemperature
condition.
• Equipment near the bottom of a rack might generate excessive heat that is drawn upward and into
the intake ports of the equipment above. The warm air can cause an overtemperature condition in
the equipment above.
• Ensure that cables from other equipment do not obstruct the airflow through the chassis or impair
access to the power supplies or cards. Route cables away from field-replaceable components to
avoid disconnecting cables unnecessarily for equipment maintenance or upgrades.
Stabilizing the System
Follow these guidelines to stabilize the equipment rack:
• Install any stabilizers that came with your equipment rack before mounting or servicing the system
in the rack.
• Load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest system at the bottom.
• Do not stack the system on top of any other equipment. If the system falls, it can cause severe bodily
injury and damage the equipment.
• If you are using an equipment shelf, ensure that the shelf is constructed to support the weight and
dimensions of the chassis.
• If you are using a telco rack, ensure that the weight of the chassis does not make the rack unstable.
Secure the telco rack with ceiling brackets if the rack is populated with heavy equipment.
• Bolt the rack to the floor for stability.
