19-Inch Rack Mounting
The device is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. This is done by attaching it to
the rack's posts using front-mounting brackets (supplied).
At least two people are required to mount the device in the 19-inch rack.
Avertissements: Au moins deux personnes sont nécessaires pour monter l’appareil
dans le bâti 19 pouces.
A fully-populated chassis weighs up to 21 kg (46.3 lbs.). The 19-inch rack cabinet must
be able to withstand this weight
.
Rack Mount Safety Instructions:
When installing the chassis in a rack, adhere the
following safety instructions:
●
Elevated Operating Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given
to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) of 40°C (104°F).
●
Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation on 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 over-current 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 (e.g., use of power strips.)
➢
To mount the device in a 19-inch rack:
1.
Attach the two front-mounting brackets (supplied) to both sides of the chassis, as shown
in the following figure. Each bracket is secured to the chassis using 9 screws (supplied).
