2.2 Preparing to Install the HDR-5000
The following sections describe the things you should consider before installing the HDR-5000.
2.2.1 Grounding the HDR-5000
For safe operation, all equipment must be properly grounded.

Connect all equipment on a rack to a common ground.

Connect the common ground to a site ground.

The ground wire should be as short as possible and follow the straightest path possible
CAUTION
Be sure the equipment grounding follows applicable electrical codes.
Never modify a grounded power plug to connect to an ungrounded receptacle.
Temperatures inside a closed mounting area can be significantly higher than the
ambient temperature. Always allow adequate ventilation.

Allow a standard 1RU of space between each component. Fill spaces between each component
with grillwork instead of blank panels.

If possible, install components in a climate-controlled area. Allow adequate airflow around the
equipment. Exhaust air from the rack should be circulated and not trapped in a closed space.
