Installation Requirements

When installing the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Appliance, follow these guidelines.

  • Ensure that there is adequate space around the appliance to allow for servicing the appliance and for adequate airflow.

    Airflow enters the chassis through the bezel and fan modules and exhausts through the port connections end of the chassis. You must install the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service Appliance with its bezel and fan modules located in a cold aisle.

  • Ensure that the air conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements:
    • Temperature: 32 to 104F (0 to 40°C)
    • Humidity: 10 to 85% (non condensing)
  • Ensure that the appliance is going to be positioned so that it takes air from a cold aisle and exhausts air to a hot aisle. The end of the chassis with the bezel and fan modules must be positioned in a cold aisle.
  • Ensure that the chassis can be adequately grounded. If the appliance is not mounted in a grounded rack, we recommend connecting both the system ground on the chassis and the power supply ground directly to an earth ground.
  • Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements:
    • Maximum output power: 510 W
    • Input voltage: 100 to 240 VAC
    • Frequency: 50 to 60 Hz
    • Efficiency: 90/92% (110/240 Vin) at typical power draw and 88/91% (110/240 Vin) at max power draw
    • RoHS-6 compliant

    If available, you can use an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.

  • Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America, the power supply requires a 15 Amp or 20 Amp circuit.
