Installation guidelines for rack-mount enclosures
Review the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for safety and cabling
information. Before you install your enclosure in a rack cabinet, consider the
following guidelines:
v
Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack cabinet.
v
Make sure that the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
v
Do not block any air vents; usually 15 cm (6 in.) of space provides proper airflow.
v
Do not leave open spaces above or below an installed enclosure in your rack
cabinet. To help prevent damage to enclosure components, always install a filler
panel to cover the open space and to help ensure proper air circulation.
v
Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v
Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v
Do not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.
v
Do not overload the power outlet when you install multiple devices in the rack
cabinet.
Use safe practices when lifting.
