Rackmount Instructions

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.

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. Approximate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable
Grounding

Reliable grounding of Rackmounted 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).
