2.2 Rack Mount Safety Instructions
2.2.1 Temperature
If VSN900/1100 systems are to be installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the installation should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. The operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment should be maintained below 35 degrees centigrade under all conditions. Appropriate cooling arrangements
should be built into the cabinet to ensure that this specification is maintained.
2.2.2 Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
2.2.3 Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the mains supply circuit and the effect that overloading
of the supply might have on any over-current protection or supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used.
2.2.4 Reliable Earthing
Reliable earthing of all rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
2.3 Unpacking and Initial Inspection
2.3.1 Unpacking
The system is heavy; lifting precautions should be considered.
To unpack the system follow the instructions provided on the outside of the packaging. All packaging materials should be
retained for future transit.
2.3.2 Initial Inspection
All systems are carefully prepared for shipment and every effort is made to ensure you receive the product in pristine condition.
On receipt, you should carefully inspect the outer packaging for any transit damage i.e. any signs that the system may have
been dropped etc.
Use the packing list enclosed to establish that all the items are present. Should any items from the packing list be missing,
contact
EMS
for further instructions.
Check the chassis for damage that could have an adverse affect on the operation of the system or could cause injury to the
operator. Should there be any physical damage to the power supply unit, for example damaged power sockets or exposed
wiring do not connect to a power source, contact
EMS
for further instructions.
