l
Reduced air flow: Installation of the DSM Appliance in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
l
Mechanical loading: Mounting the DSM Appliance in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
l
Circuit overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the DSM Appliance to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
l
Reliable grounding: The rack-mounted equipment should have a reliable ground. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (example: power strips).
Rack Mounting the Appliance
This section provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis installed.
Unpacking the system
Inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note any damage. If the chassis itself shows damage, file a damage
claim with the carrier.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. Choose a clean, dust-free, well ventilated
area. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. Placed near a grounded power
outlet.
Preparing for setup
The box your chassis was shipped in includes two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets, and the
mounting screws needed to install the system into the rack. Read this section before beginning the installation
procedure.
Choosing a setup location
l
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to open the front door completely (~25 inches).
l
Leave ~30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
l
This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets
and the like).
Rack precautions
l
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the
rack resting on them.
l
In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
l
In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
l
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
l
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause instability.
