UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of an
IPL T SFI244 unit onto a rack.
1. 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, consider installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer
[Tma = +32 to +122 °F (0 to +50 °C)].
2. 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.
3. Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
