The instructions here apply to the all Vess A6120
Series 1U form factor
models.
The Vess A6120 installs in a 19” equipment rack. Please examine the
illustrations in this section to make sure you are using the correct type of rack.
In order to place the system in the rack, first attach the ear brackets to the
front of the device. Then install the sliding rail system in the rack. Finally place
the device on the sliding rails and secure it to the rack. Use only the screws
and fasteners included with the shipment of the sliding rail system, or with the
Vess A6120. This procedure is described and illustrated in the sections that
follow below.
Warnings
• 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.
• 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 over current 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.
Particular attention should be given to supply
connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
