Elevated Operating Ambient
- If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow
- Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
- Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
- Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
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, use of
power strips).
For safety, equipment should always be loaded from the bottom up. That is, install the equipment that will be
mounted in the lowest part of the rack first, then the next higher systems, etc.
To prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation, the anti-tilt bar on the rack must be deployed.
The mounting brackets provided must be used to securely mount the device in a rack-mount unit.
