The Vess A6120 installs in a 19” equipment rack. Please examine the illustrations in this section to make sure
you are using the correct type of rack.
In order to place the system in the rack, first attach the ear brackets to the front of the device. Then install
the sliding rail system in the rack. Finally place the device on the sliding rails and secure it to the rack. Use only
the screws and fasteners included with the shipment of the sliding rail system, or with the Vess A6120. This
procedure is described and illustrated in the sections that follow below.
The instructions here apply to the all Vess A6120 Series 1U form factor models.
Warnings
• 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.
• Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• 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. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
• 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).
