Installing the Device
2.3.2 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail
• Do not exceed the maximum number of devices or weight restrictions specified
by the rack manufacturer.
• Do not overload the supply circuit. Refer to the over-current protection and
power supply ratings specified by the rack manufacturer.
• Make sure the rack and all devices have a proper ground-to-Earth connection.
Pay particular attention to power supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. power strips).
To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, do the following:
1. Make sure the rack mount adapters are installed on the correct side of the
chassis.
• To make the modules and ports accessible, install the rack mount adapters
at the rear of the chassis
• To make the management ports and LEDs accessible, install the rack mount
adapters at the front of the chassis
Note
The chassis features multiple mounting holes, allowing the rack mount adapters
to be installed up to 25 mm (1 in) from the face of the device.
