NEBS describes the environment of a typical United States Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) central office. NEBS is the most common set of safety, spatial, and environmental design standards applied to telecommunications equipment in the United States. It is not a legal or regulatory requirement, but rather an industry requirement.

The following NEBS statements apply to the Firepower 2130:

Note	Statement 7001—ESD Mitigation This equipment may be ESD sensitive. Always use an ESD ankle or wrist strap before handling equipment. Connect the equipment end of the ESD strap to an unfinished surface of the equipment chassis or to the ESD jack on the equipment if provided.

Warning

Statement 7003—Shielded Cable Shielded Cable Requirements for Intrabuilding Lightning Surge The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intrabuilding cabling/wiring that is grounded at both ends. The following port(s) are considered intrabuilding ports on this equipment: Gigabit Ethernet management port RJ-45 1 G/100 M/10 M auto duplex/auto MDI-X Base-T ports

Note

Statement 7004—Special Accessories Required to Comply with GR-1089 Emission and Immunity Requirements To comply with the emission and immunity requirements of GR-1089, shielded cables are required for the following ports: Gigabit Ethernet management port RJ-45 1 G/100 M/10 M auto duplex/auto MDI-X Base-T ports

Warning

Statement 7005—Intrabuilding Lightning Surge and AC Power Fault The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring. This statement applies to the intrabuilding ports listed below: Gigabit Ethernet management port RJ-45 1 G/100 M/10 M auto duplex/auto MDI-X Base-T ports

Warning

Statement 7012—Equipment Interfacing with AC Power Ports Connect this equipment to AC mains that are provided with a surge protective device (SPD) at the service equipment that complies with NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Note	Statement 7013—Equipment Grounding Systems—Common Bonding Network (CBN) This equipment is suitable for installations using the CBN.

Note	Statement 7016—Battery Return Conductor Treat the battery return conductor of this equipment as DC-I.

Note	Statement 7018—System Recover Time The equipment is designed to boot up in less than 30 minutes provided the neighboring devices are fully operational.

Note	Statement 8015—Installation Location Network Telecommunications Facilities This equipment is suitable for installation in network telecommunications facilities.

Note	Statement 8016—Installation Location Where the National Electric Code (NEC) Applies This equipment is suitable for installation in locations where the NEC applies.

Observe these safety guidelines:

• Keep the area clear and dust-free before, during, and after installation.

• Keep tools away from walkways, where you and others might trip over them.

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, such as earrings, bracelets, or chains that could get caught in the chassis.

• Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.

• Never attempt to lift an object that is too heavy for one person.

Warning

Before working on a chassis, be sure the power cord is unplugged.

Read the document before installing the security appliance.

Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:

• Before beginning procedures that require access to the interior of the chassis, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn off the power.

• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist anywhere in your work space.

• Never assume that power is disconnected; always check.

• Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, frayed power cords, and missing safety grounds.

• Use the chassis within its marked electrical ratings and product usage instructions.

ESD occurs when electronic components are improperly handled, and it can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry, resulting in intermittent or complete failure.

Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components. Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to an earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground ESD voltages. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between one and 10 megohms.

See Hardware Specifications for information about physical specifications.

When planning the site layout and equipment locations, consider the information in the next sections 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 considerations may help you isolate the cause of failures and prevent future problems.

Considering the following helps you plan an acceptable operating environment for the chassis, 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.

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

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

See Power Supply Modules for more detailed information about the power supply modules for your model.

When installing the chassis, consider the following:

• Check the power at the site before installing the chassis to ensure that it is “clean” (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner, if necessary, to ensure proper voltages and power levels in the appliance input voltage.

• Install proper grounding for the site to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.

• The chassis does not have a user-selectable operating range. Refer to the label on the chassis for the correct appliance input-power requirement.

• Several styles of AC-input power supply cords are available; make sure that you have the correct style for your site.

• Install an uninterruptible power source for your site, if possible.

• If you are using dual redundant (1+1) power supplies, we recommend that you use independent electrical circuits for each power supply.
