The batteries contained in this product are NOT rechargeable. Recharging can
cause battery leakage or cause the safety release vent to open. Inadvertent charging can
occur if battery installation is backwards. Dispose of batteries appropriately after use.
The Lithium-Iron Disulfide batteries contained in this product may pose a fire, explo-
sion, or burn hazard if misused. Do not open battery, dispose of in fire, heat above 100°
C (212° F), expose contents to water, recharge, put in backwards, mix with used or other
battery types - may explode or leak and cause personal injury.
Data centers may pose a risk of hearing loss. Use appropriate ear protection prior
to entry into high-noise areas.
When performing subfloor work in a data center, be careful not to stress, crush,
pull, or disconnect wiring and hoses running underneath electrical and data cables, leak
detectors, etc. (including fire alarm/suppression systems).
Subfloor work poses significant trip/fall hazards and eye hazards from airflow-
borne debris. Eye protection must be worn at all times when removing or replacing floor
tiles and when working in or around areas with removed tiles.
Do not touch any electrical or computer/server equipment in the data center without
approval from data center operators (including loose cables, pushcarts, and terminals).

Introduction
This chapter provides the scope, overview (application and block diagrams), and kit com-
ponents content for installing and configuring Gateways in data centers.
Scope
This document provides guidelines and instructions for installing and configuring the
Gateway.
NOTE: Installation of software (such as Web Console™ and MapSense™) occurs prior
to hardware installation. This installation order prevents redundancy of hardware veri-
fication activities (for example, sensor-to-software communication validation). See
Document References section for document list.
This document applies only to the installation and configuration of Gateway devices.
Overview
The Gateway is a wireless-to-Ethernet transceiver that collects data from any of the Syn-
apSense wireless sensor or meter hardware deployed throughout the data center (for
example, SynapSense ThermaNode environmental sensors and P3 SmartPlug™ Con-
troller). The device is powered by an external power adapter. Each Gateway has an
internal battery backup, which maintains the SynapSense Wireless Sensor Network
(WSN) in the event the external power adapter is unplugged or loses power.
Figure 1 shows an example of wireless data transmission from different nodes to the
Gateway(s), and then data transmittal from the Gateway(s) to the server via Ethernet.
