1.2 Important Installation Guidelines
•
Elevated Operating Ambient
– If installed in a closed or multi-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.
•
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.
•
Mechanical Loading
– Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
•
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 overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
•
Reliable Earthing
– Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Attention should be given
to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
•
Disconnect Device
– A readily disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring.
