Precaution
Consideration
Mount the equipment so that the mechanical loads on the rack are even top-to-bottom, front-to-back,
and side-to-side.
Mechanical Load-
ing
Be sure there is adequate power service to prevent overloading the circuits. Check the ratings of each
item of equipment on each circuit.
Note: The power supplies are 220VAC or 110VAC auto-detecting.
Circuit Overloading
You must provide reliable grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment. In addition, pay attention
to supply connections from the branch circuit, such as power strips.
Reliable Grounding
