2.2 Mounting and Ventilation
2.2.1 Fixing and Rack Mounting
The equipment is designed for fixed use only and has been shipped with fixing
brackets suitable for a standard 19-inch rack. When installed in a rack, it should be
secured using the fixing brackets. In addition, support shelves must be used to
reduce the weight on the brackets. Ensure it is firmly and safely located and it has
an adequate free-flow of air.
Slide the unit onto the chassis supports and affix to the rack by means of an
M6 x 18 mm panhead screw in each corner.
A freestanding unit should be installed on a secure horizontal surface where it is
unlikely to be knocked or its connectors and leads disturbed.
2.2.2 Ventilation
Side openings in the unit, as well as side-mounted cooling fans, are provided for
ventilation. They ensure reliable operation of the product and protect it from
overheating. The openings of the fans must not be blocked or covered.
