3.3 Installation Locations
The 7750 SR ESA 100G is intended to be installed in facilities that provide weather
protection and an extended temperature-controlled environment.
The 7750 SR ESA 100G is not intended for installation outdoors.
The 7750 SR ESA 100G is designed to work in an environment equivalent to a
modern office building, where protection is provided from contaminants, including
mold growth, precipitation, volatile or corrosive chemicals, hygroscopic dust, insects,
pests, or vermin entering the product.
When a 7750 SR ESA 100G is installed in an outside plant, such as a cell site, hut,
cabinet, or outside plant enclosure, it must be installed in an environment where,
except during installation and servicing, the compartment is sealed or properly
filtered.
The product must be protected from ingress of contaminants such as outside air,
conductive pollution, volatile or corrosive elements (for example, salt-laden air),
hygroscopic dust, insects, pests, or vermin.
The humidity levels in the cabinet must be controlled to ensure a relative humidity
level between 5% and 85% (non-condensing) with short-term levels of 10% to 95%
(non-condensing). (Short-term is a period of less than 96 consecutive hours and a
total of no more than 15 days per year. This is equivalent to 360 hours per year, with
short-term periods occurring no more than 15 times per year.) The dew point
threshold in the cabinet must not be crossed.
Note: The 7750 SR ESA 100G CPU monitors temperature sensors throughout the system.
If an over-temperature condition is detected, the control plane processor will perform a reset
and reboot the system. At boot time, the system checks the temperature sensors before
proceeding with a full system boot. At boot time, the system fans are always running at the
highest speed and are ordinarily throttled down after system boot based on the temperature
sensor readings. If the temperature at boot-up is outside proper operating limits, the CPU
will reboot and restart the system boot sequence. If the temperature sensors are within the
proper operating range at system boot-up, the system startup will proceed.
Warning: Follow the equipment rack manufacturer’s instructions for proper rack installation.
Failure to comply with the requirements and the location requirements outlined in this
section may impede proper airflow and may result in the system overheating.
