Rackmounting your Octopus unit
You can either place your Octopus unit on your rack shelf or rackmount your unit
into an EIA standard rack.
A rackmounting kit is supplied with each Octopus. Before installing the switch and
other components in the rack, stabilize the rack in a permanent location. Start rack
mounting your equipment at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Avoid
uneven loading or overloading of the rack.
CAUTION: Rack Loading
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment-
- Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
- Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
- Disconnect the power from the unit by unplugging the power cord from either the electrical
outlet or the unit.
CAUTION: Power Considerations
Connect only to the power source speci
fi
ed on the unit. When multiple electrical components
are installed in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed circuit
capabilities. Overloaded power sources and extension cords present
fi
re and shock hazards.
