CHAPTER
1Getting started
This chapter tells you how to prepare for installation of the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU.
Topics include:
■Selecting an appropriate installation site
■Unpacking the shipping cartons and inspecting their contents to ensure there is no
shipment damage
■Reviewing the front and back panels, and their controls, connectors, and indicators
After reading this chapter, you will be ready to install the unit as described in Chapter 2.

10 Chapter 1: Getting started
Select an appropriate site
The installation site for the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU must meet certain requirements for
power and grounding, ambient temperature and humidity control, physical space, and
electrostatic protection. The site should be clean and free from extremes of temperature,
humidity, shock, and vibration.
Power The DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU operates from AC or DC power, depending on the type of
power supply you ordered with the unit. Make sure that your installation site provides an
appropriate power source for your power supply. The power requirements are listed below.
CAUTION!
Damage to IDSU components may occur if the input voltage applied to the IDSU
is not within the specified range.
AC power
One AC power supply is available for both North American and European ratings. It
accepts nominal input voltages of 120 VAC, 60 Hz (North American standard) or 240
VAC, 50 Hz (for other site locations). The maximum operating range is 85 to 265 VAC, 47
to 63 Hz, 0.35 A.
When using an AC supply, the AC branch circuit receptacle should be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible. Do not attach the power supply cord to
building surfaces.
DC power
One DC power supply is available. It accepts nominal input voltages of 48 VDC. The
maximum operating range is 36 to 75 VDC, 0.6 A.
Power consumption
The DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU power consumption is 24 W nominal, 30 W maximum for
AC power; 22W nominal, 25 W maximum for DC power.
Grounding The DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU enclosure is grounded through its power supply connector.
The AC power supply is designed to connect to a power source that has a protective-
ground contact. It is grounded through a grounding conductor in its power cord. The DC
supply is grounded by attaching frame ground to the ground terminal on the supply.
Environmental
ranges The work area you select for the DataSMART T3/E3 IDSU must fall within certain
environmental limits.
■Temperature: 0oC to 50oC, nominal, operating; -20oC to 66oC, non-operating
■Humidity: 5% to 95% RH, non-condensing
