NOTICE
Electrical/mechanical hazard – risk of damage to the device
Before installing the device in a rack, make sure of the following:
• When installing the device in a closed or multi-device rack, be aware the
operating ambient temperature of the rack may be higher than the ambient
temperature of the room. Make sure the rack is installed in a suitable
environment that can withstand the maximum ambient temperature generated
by the rack.
• Make sure each device in the rack is separated by at least one rack-unit of space,
or 44 mm (1.75 in), to promote convectional airflow. Forced airflow is not
required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient
temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in
the rack space.
• Do not exceed the maximum number of devices or weight restrictions specified
by the rack manufacturer.
