Rackmount Instructions
Elevated
Operating
Ambient
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced
Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount
of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
Circuit
Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to
the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on over current protection and supply wiring. Approximate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
Reliable
Grounding
Reliable grounding of Rackmounted 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).
