2.1.1 Installing the Server in a Rack
Follow these instructions to mount the Tank GT20 into an
industry standard 19" rack.
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating 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 maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the
connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the
effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcur-
rent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration
of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should
be given to supply connections other than direct connections
to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)."
