Location and Mounting
The
U500
is sized at 1.5 RU, and may be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or set up for desktop
operation. In either location, maintain a clean, dry environment for the
U500
.
3.1. Rack Mounting
First install angle brackets or cross-supports capable of supporting both the unit and its connecting
cables. Screw or bolt the supports securely to the equipment rack. The
U500
unit should be installed in
such a way that a hazardous condition is not produced by uneven loading, or by resting any
unsupported equipment on a rack-mounted
U500
unit.
Place the
U500
on its supports and use four anchor screws or bolts and nuts to secure the
U500
front
brackets to the rack.
NOTE:
The front brackets must be secured to the rack. If the front brackets are left unsecured, the unit may shift
forward and fall from the rack, and may result in personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
