Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance C170 설치 가이드

The topics in this section describe the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and 
operation of your Cisco 170 series system. Ensure that your site is properly prepared before beginning 
installation. 

This section includes the following topics:

Place the appliance on a desktop or mount it on a rack. The location of the appliance and the layout of 
the equipment rack or wiring room are extremely important for proper system operation. Placing 
equipment too close together with inadequate ventilation and inaccessible panels can cause system 
malfunctions and shutdowns. Improper placement can also make it difficult for you to access the 
appliance for maintenance.

For information about physical specifications, see the

When planning the site layout and equipment locations, keep in mind the precautions described in the 
next section “

,” to help avoid equipment failures and reduce the 

possibility of environmentally caused shutdowns. If you are currently experiencing shutdowns or 
unusually high error rates with your existing equipment, these precautions may help you isolate the 
cause of failures and prevent future problems.

The following precautions will help plan an acceptable operating environment for the appliance and 
avoid environmentally caused equipment failures:

Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be adequate to cool 
equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Ensure that the room 
in which you operate your system has adequate air circulation. 

Always follow the ESD-prevention procedures described previously to avoid damage to equipment. 
Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.

Ensure that the appliance cover is secure. The appliance is designed to allow cooling air to flow 
effectively within it. An open appliance allows air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow 
of cooling air from the internal components.
