Safety Instructions
å
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.
å
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.
å
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
å
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.
å
Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connec-
tions other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
å
Read all safety and operating instructions before you operate the unit.
å
Retain all safety and operating instructions for future reference.
