2-4 Rack Mount Precautions
!
The following rack mount precautions should be considered when installing the
Supermicro PDU system:
Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly,
•
the operating ambient temperature of the rack enviornment may be greater
than room ambient temperature. Therefore you should consider installing the
rack's equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) specifi ed by the equipment manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow – Equipment in a rack should be installed so that the amount
•
of air fl ow required for safe operation of it is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading – Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous
•
condition of uneven mechanical loading is not achieved.
Circuit Overloading – Consider the connection of the equipment to the supply
•
circuit so that overcurrent protection and supply wiring is not overloaded. Read
and consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing – Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be
•
maintained. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).
