Chapter 2
Installation in a Rack
2.1 Overview
This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your system in a rack.
Caution:
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To pre-
vent such damage to PCBs (printed circuit boards), it is important to use a grounded
wrist strap, handle all PCBs by their edges, and keep them in anti-static bags when
not in use.
2.2 Preparing for Setup
The box in which the system was shipped should include the hardware needed to install it
into the rack. Please note the precautions in this chapter and Appendix B.
Choosing a Setup Location
•
The system should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields are generated. It will also require
a grounded AC power outlet nearby.
•
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack so that you can open the front door completely
(~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow
sufficient space for airflow and access when servicing.
•
This product should be installed only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment
rooms, service closets, etc.).
•
This product is not suitable for use with visual display workplace devices according to §2
of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
Rack Precautions
•
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are extended to the floor so that
the full weight of the rack rests on them.
•
In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
