temperature is within the specified operating temperature range. (See
page 62 .)

Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted
unit.
◆
Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is
not overloaded.

Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the mains.
