2.1. Installation Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when installing your Clavister SG4300 Series appliance:
• Take notice of the safety guidelines laid out in Appendix C, Safety Precautions. These are
specified in multiple languages.
• Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord
supplied with the appliance to connect it to the power source.
• If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the appliance, be
sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for
power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely
with the appliance.
• Ensure that the appliance does not overload the power circuits, wiring and over-current
protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add together the
ampere ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the appliance and compare the total
with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the
devices near the AC power connectors.
• Do not install the appliance in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might
exceed the specified operating range (see Appendix A, SG4300 Series Specifications).
• Make sure that airflow around the sides and back of the appliance is not restricted.
Note
Detailed information concerning power supply range, operating temperature range
etc. can be found at the end of this publication in Appendix A, SG4300 Series
Specifications.
Flat Surface Installation
The SG4300 Series can be mounted on any appropriate stable, flat, level surface that can safely
support the weight of the appliance and its attached cables.
Rubber feet on the SG4300 Series unit are attached to the underside of the appliance for operation
on a flat surface. This protects both the surface and the appliance from external damage as well as
allowing air to circulate underneath the hardware during operation.
The fitted side brackets for rack installation can be removed by unscrewing the retaining screws.
Caution
Please ensure there is adequate space around the hardware for ventilation and access
to operating switches and cable connectors. No other objects should be placed on top
of the hardware.
