Rack mount installation

NOTE

You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver for installation.

Before mounting the device in a rack, consider the following factors:

Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient
room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified
operating temperature range. (Refer to

“Operating environment”

on page 48.)

Mechanical loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted device.

Circuit overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.

Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention should
be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains.

To mount devices in rack follow the steps given below.

1. Remove the rack mount kit from the shipping carton. The kit contains two L-shaped mounting

brackets and mounting screws.

2. Attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the device as illustrated in
