Avoiding general rack mounting problems
Elevated operating ambient temperature
The operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient when
installing into a closed or multi-unit rack assembly. So install the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature.
Reduced airflow
Install the equipment in a rack in such a way that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not
compromised.
Mechanical loading
Mount the equipment in the rack in such a way that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
Circuit overloading
When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the effect that overloading of circuits
might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Give attention to supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
