5.3.3 Mounting Options and Stabilization
The AXP640 is designed to be mounted in an equipment rack while maintaining conformance
to the NEBS 24" deep lineup and the ETSI 600mm deep lineup standards for
telecommunication equipment. For increased stability, we recommend that the rack is
securely mounted to the floor, or if using stabilizing devices make sure they are installed and
extended.
5.3.4 Weight Distribution Within a Rack
5.3.5 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Safety Procedures
Use ESD
protection
ESD
Emerson strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive foam
pad when installing or upgrading a shelf. Electronic components, such as disk drives, computer
boards, and memory modules, can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
After removing the component from its protective wrapper or from the shelf, place the
component flat on a grounded, static-free surface (and, in the case of a blade, component side
up). Do not slide the component over any surface.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the equipment, plan your installation so that (within
the limitations of equipment and cabling):
The weight of the equipment is evenly distributed in the rack.
The heaviest units are mounted nearer the bottom of the rack.
Uneven mechanical loading of the rack may cause toppling.
