8. Pre-installation guidelines
· Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that
are likely to generate electrical noise
· Place the Smart 108/116 IP on a flat, clean and dry surface
· The Smart 108/116 IP is not intended for connection to exposed outdoor lines
· Ensure that the maximum distance between each computer and the Smart
108/116 IP, does not exceed 10m/33ft for RICCs and 30m/100ft for ROCs.
8.1 Avoiding general rack mounting problems
Elevated operating ambient temperature
The operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
the room ambient when installing into a closed or multi-unit rack assembly. So
install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated
ambient temperature.
Reduced airflow
Install the equipment in a rack in such a way that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation is not compromised. Leave a gap of at least 5cm/2” each side of
the Smart 108/116 IP.
Mechanical loading
Mount the equipment in the rack in such a way that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit overloading
When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the effect that
overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Give attention
to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of
power strips).
8.2 Rack mounting the Smart 108/116 IP
Rack mount the Smart 108/116 IP using the supplied Rack-mount kit. The brackets
can be placed in 2 possible positions, see Figure 3.
