Consideration Discussion
Temperature Since the temperature within a rack assembly
may be higher than the ambient room
temperature, make sure the rack environment
temperature is within the Operating
Temperature range specified in Appendix A.
Air Flow Make sure there is at least 2 inches (or more)
on both sides of the ELS10-26 to allow for
adequate air flow.
Mechanical Loading Do not place equipment on top of a rack-
mounted ELS10-26.
Circuit Overloading Make sure the power supply circuit to the
rack assembly is not overloaded.
Grounding
(Earthing) Rack-mounted equipment should be
grounded. In addition to the direct
connections to the main power supplies, make
sure all the other supply connections are also
grounded.
