Location and Enclosure
•
Place the unit to allow easy access to the system ports.
•
Account for the unit’s dimensions when selecting an installation location or enclosure
(see page 15).
•
Place the unit at a comfortable working level.
•
Mount the unit in an upright position.
•
Consider locations of accessories such as AC power outlets and lighting (interior lighting
and windows) for installation and maintenance convenience.
•
Prevent condensation by installing a thermostat-controlled heater or air conditioner.
•
Avoid obstructing the air flow to allow for maximum cooling.
•
Place any fans or blowers close to the heat-generating devices. If using a fan, make sure
that outside air is not brought inside the enclosure unless a fabric or other reliable filter
is used. This filtration prevents conductive particles or other harmful contaminants from
entering the enclosure.
•
Do not select a location near equipment that generates excessive electromagnetic
interference (EMI) or radio frequency interface (RFI) (equipment such as high- power
welding machines, induction heating equipment, and large motor starters).
•
Do not place incoming power line devices (such as isolation or constant voltage
transformers, local power disconnects, and surge suppressers) near the system. The
proper location of incoming line devices keeps power wire runs as short as possible and
minimizes electrical noise transmitted to the unit.
•
Make sure the location does not exceed the unit’s shock, vibration, and temperature
specifications (see page 17 for specifications).
•
Install the unit so it does not cause a hazard from uneven mechanical loading.
•
Incorporate a readily-accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring on permanently
connected equipment.
•
Avoid overloading the supply circuit.
INSTALLING THE UNIT
After you have selected and prepared an appropriate location, you can install the unit.
Note:
Ensure that the unit’s chassis is grounded to the rack or panel enclosure.
Rack-Mounting
You can position and secure the unit in a 19” universal spacing rack. Refer to the
mounting specifications (page 15) to complete these steps.
