Rack Mounting Instructions
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should
be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
4.
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 overcurrent protection and
supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5.
Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted 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).
