ReadyNAS 3100 Hardware Manual
Rack Mount Setup
Use the included rack mount hardware to install the unit according to the instructions below.
DANGER:
A unit with installed drives can weigh more than 80 pounds. To avoid
injury or damage to the equipment, plan to perform the rack mount
installation with appropriate assistance.
Ambient Operating Temperature
If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating
temperature of the rack environment might be greater than the ambient temperature of the
room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature found in
"Default Settings and
Specifications "
in Appendix A.
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack to ensure that the amount of airflow required for
safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted level into a rack to avoid a hazardous condition due to uneven
mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
It is important to consider the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry, and
the effect that possible overloading of circuits might have on over current protection and
power supply wiring. Appropriate equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure proper grounding, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other
than the direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips).
