Error of + 100m in the sea level settings of the location of installation is permissible.
*6: Downtime is the condition in which the device is packed and maintained.
*7: Level of noise which is actually heard varies as per the mounting condition of the position from where the
noise is heard or the position of rack.
*8: Level of noise and the level of acoustic power changes according to the Hardware configuration, the
processing load and the environmental temperature.
*9: Downtime is the condition in which the device is installed. However, the power is switched off.
*10: Value at the time of operations.
*11: Value of 1 input cable

1.4 Installation Area
Here, the installation area and the service area when the Cisco C880 Server is installed on 19-inch rack are
explained.
The installation area and the service area differ according to the installed 19-inch rack.
For details on the 19-inch racks, contact the distributor where you purchased your product, or your sales
representative.

1.5 Flow of Cooling Air and Exhaust Air of Installation
Here, the flow of the cooling air and the exhaust of each device are explained.
Note
Flow of cooling air and exhaust air should be considered while studying the installation of a device. If device
is installed without considering them, it may get affected by inhaling the exhaust air from the other device.
Especially, the device detecting the intake air temperature may raise alarm indicating abnormality.

1.6 Installation Environment
This section describes the installation environment of the base cabinet.
1.6.1 Dust
Suspended Particles
Suspended particles in a computer room should not exceed 0.15mg/m3. A computer is designed in such a
way that it withstands the suspended particles. This value is permissible in an ordinary office. However, this
value can be maintained in the ordinary computer room if there is less outdoor air infiltration having
suspended particles like dust and if there is no smoke of cigarettes.
Dust Removal
The suspended particles like dust are collected in the filter of an air conditioner. The dust should be removed
from the computer room by cleaning floor surfaces and underfloor periodically. Cleaning is necessary in the
following cases.
When the computer room is ready, and before bringing in the computers
At the time of repairing the computer room
At the time of shifting the computers and re-arranging the devices
1.6.2 Corrosive Gas
Corrosive gas and salty wind cause corrosion, malfunctioning, and damage of the device, and reduce life of
the device remarkably.
Corrosive gas should be removed by providing suitable air cleaning equipment. In addition, positive clear air
pressure in the room prevents an entering of the corrosive gas from the outside. The chemical factory area,
thermal water/ volcanic zone etc. are considered as a source of corrosive gas.
TABLE 1.3 Permissible Level of Corrosive Gas
Name of gas
Permissible level
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
7.1ppb or less
Sulfur dioxide (Sulfur oxide)(SO2)
37ppb or less
Hydrogen chloride (HCL)
6.6ppb or less
Chlorine (CI2)
3.4ppb or less
Hydrogen fluoride (HF)
3.6ppb or less
Nitrogen dioxide (Nitrogen oxides)(NO2)
52ppb or less
Ammonia(NH3)
420ppb or less
Ozone(O3)
5ppb or less
Fluid vapor
0.2mg/m3or less
1.6.3 Sea Water (Salt Damage)
A large number of sea-salt particles are suspended in air by the salty wind near the sea-coast. If the sea-salt
particles remain in the computer, moisture and chemically condensed substances cause insulation failure,
and corrosion degradation of the components. Therefore, the computer should be installed at a place which
is far from the sea-coast.
Installation standards to prevent damage due to sea salt particles are shown below.
Standards: The computer should be installed at a place which is at least 0.5km away from the sea-coast
(Excluding the case having air-conditioner which prevents an entering of air from outside)
