Reliable Earthing
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit. For
example, make sure earthing is maintained even if you use power strips.
•
Before connections are made, all non-plated surfaces of the device must be brought to
a bright finish and treated with an anti-oxidant solution; all bare grounding connection
points to the device must be cleaned and coated with an anti-oxidant solution.
•
All non-conductive surfaces on the device must be removed from all threads and con-
nection points to ensure electrical continuity.
•
The device must be grounded using a 10 AWG Copper wire. This wire should be Green
with Yellow stripe and be terminated with a UL-listed single hole compression lug. The
compression lug should be torqued to 15 ft. lbs during installation using a Nut and an
External tooth washer to ensure the connection does not become loose.
•
All bare grounding connection points to the device shall be cleaned and coated with
an anti-oxidant solution before connections are made.
Temperature and Air Flow
Installation of the chassis on a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
If you install the chassis on a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient tem-
perature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. There-
fore, consideration should be given to installing the chassis in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified for the device.
For the model covered by this document, the temperature and humidity settings are listed
below:
•
Operating temperature: 0 ~ 40° C
•
Ambient operating humidity: 5% ~ 90%
