Installation
Rack Mounting Instructions
Elevated Operating Ambient
When 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) of 50 ºC.
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. It is recommended that 2.5cm (1
inch) of clearance be supplied around the sides of the unit.
Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading. The unit should be mounted with screws
suitable for up to 10kg (22lbs).
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 the unit 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).
