ONSIDERATIONS
When installing the chassis, ensure that a minimum free air space is available around the system. The
installation should have a minimum of 4-6 inches (101-152mm) in front of and behind the chassis and 1-3
inches (25-75mm) in front of the chassis. Ideally, a chassis clearance of 0.5-1.5 inches (13-38mm) above
the system is desirable, but not required. The computer is equipped with fans to help ensure proper
cooling.

OUNTING
The TRC4011 / TVC4403 system can be installed in a rackmount cabinet that conforms to EIA standards
for computer equipment with 19-inch wide panels. The cabinet must be tall enough to accommodate the
computer’s height and deep enough to accomendate the system’s depth, while providing the proper
clearences for air flow and cabling. A cabinet with a standard depth of 31.5 inches (800mm) should be
sufficient; however, a rack with a non-standard depth dimension of at least 26 inches (660mm) will provide
the suggested minimum front and rear chassis clearances needed for an installation.
The TRC4011 / TVC4403 is designed to be supported in the cabinet with rack slides or placed on a cabinet
shelf. The front flanges of the computer are designed to secure the TRC4011 / TVC4403 to the rack
cabinet’s front mounting rails

NSTRUCTIONS
A) 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.
B) 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.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition
is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) 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.
E) 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).
F) Chassis Access – Use in a RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION only.
NOTE:
Only trained personnel shall install or operate this equipment
