in the installation instructions, the following general hazards shall be
addressed. These potential hazards are considered common to most rack
installations:
1 Elevated operating ambient temperature
The details should be provided so that consideration shall be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature 35°C (95°F).
2 Reduced air flow
Installation of the equipment in a rack shall be such that the amount of
airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3 Mechanical loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack shall be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4 Circuit overloading
Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading circuits may have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
the equipment nameplate rating should be used when addressing this
concern.
5 Reliable earthing
Reliable earthing of the rack mounted equipment should be maintained.
