The Enterprise 4500 system is designed to sit on the floor, on a caster base, or on a desk or table.
Do not stack multiple Enterprise 4500 systems directly on top of each other.
Follow these guidelines to prepare a location.
The server unit requires approximately 1.5 feet (50 cm) of space in the front and back for access by service personnel. See Figure 1-6.
A minimum space of 6 inches (16 cm) is required on both sides of the server to afford adequate air flow.
A minimum space of 3 feet (90 cm) is recommended to avoid exhaust air recirculation if systems are placed next to each other.
To avoid recirculating exhaust air from one system into another, do not put systems or peripherals side by side closer than 3 feet (90 cm).
Keep power and interface cables clear of foot traffic. Route cables inside walls, under the floor, through the ceiling, or in protective channels. Route interface cables away from motors and other sources of magnetic or radio frequency interference.
