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 manufacturer’s 
maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).

Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous 
condition is not caused by uneven mechanical loading. 
 

22.  Circuit Overloading 

Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to 
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on 
over current protection and supply wiring.  Appropriate consideration 
of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this 
concern. 

 
23.  Reliable Earthing (Grounding)
