Rack Mounting Instructions
1.
Elevated Operating Ambient:
If installed in a closed or multi-
unit 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.
NOTE
In order to ensure reliable operations, please make sure the
operating temp. of the environment does not exceed the spec.
When mounting an RKS-G4028 rack-mounted switch with other
operating units in a cabinet without forced ventilation, it is
recommended that 1U of space is reserved between each rack-
mounted switch and/or device.
2.
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.
3.
Mechanical Loading:
Mounting of the equipment in the rack
should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to
uneven mechanical loading.
4.
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.
5.
Reliable Grounding:
Reliable grounding of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips). Make sure the grounding
screw of the device has been connected by a 16 AWG (min.)
green-and-yellow wire to the rack, and the protective terminal of
the rack has connected to the earth ground.
