Mounting the SG810 in an Equipment Rack
The SG810 is designed to fit into a standard telco-style or four-post cabinet style
equipment rack.
The SG810 ships with the rack-mounting ears installed.
Rack Mounting Notes
Read the following notes before rack-mounting the SG810:
A 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 (Tmax) specified by the manufacturer.
B 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.
C Mechanical Loading—Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D 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.
E 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).
