General Rackmounting Guidelines
other instruments. However, in doing this, do not violate the guideline that
the heaviest instruments should be placed at the bottom of the rack.

The recommended working space for performing maintenance is 1.2 m (4 ft)
from either side of, in front of, or behind the rack. The work space must permit
at least a 90 degree opening of rack doors or hinged panels.
7
Rack components must be properly grounded in accordance with local and
regional building codes.
8
Ensure that rack leveling feet are properly extended to the floor and the full
weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet. Anti-tip stabilizers and/or ballast
are recommended.
9
To maintain adequate airflow, do not install front doors on the rack.
If you have been using the chassis with modules installed, you
should remove all modules before rack mounting the chassis. This
will make handling the chassis easier and reduce chances of
damaging modules.
Always plan the rack installation so that the heaviest component is
on the bottom of the rack. Install the heaviest item first, and continue
to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
Chassis exceeds 48 kg. Use a mechanical lift to lift the chassis. The
chassis should be transported using a rolling cart. Do not lift the
chassis by the handles on the front and rear of the chassis. If you
plan to mount the chassis at the top of a rack (see
on page 35) the mechanical lift must be
able to raise the chassis to approximately 60” (1.5 meters).
