Valhalla 2300, Operation Manual

Page: 10 / 115

1-5. Rack Mounting
Optional brackets are available for mounting
the 2300 in a standard 19" equipment rack.
These are listed in Section 3 of this manual.
The size and weight of the 2300 require that
the unit
should be supported on both sides along its
entire length by the use of "trays" or "slides".
If it is to be transported while mounted in a
rack then
it must be supported so as to
prevent upward and downward movement.
The user should note that the specifications
for the 2300 become degraded at high
temperatures thus it is required that sufficient
room be allowed for airflow around the 2300.
This may be achieved by placing a minimum
1.75" blank panel above and below the 2300
in the rack.
If a unit placed beneath the 2300 has an
unusually hot exterior top surface and it is not
possible to alter its location, it is
recommended that an aluminum "reflector"
plate be used between this unit and the 2300.
Under no circumstances should the ambient
air temperature surrounding the 2300 be
allowed to exceed 50
°
C while in operation or
70
°
C while in storage.
1-6. Safety Precautions
The power connector is a three-contact device
and should be mated only with a three-contact
connector where the third contact provides a
continuous ground connection. A mating
power cord has been provided. If the power is
provided through an extension cable then the
ground connection must be continuous
throughout this cable.
Failure to provide a continuous ground
connection to the 2300 may render the unit
unsafe for use!
