10.3 Rack Mounting
The KCS Model s 305 may be mounted in any 19” standard rack with cooling and minimum depth of
600mm. One KCS Model 305 requires 1HE (45mm / 1 ¾” height).
Model 305, since it is quite small and light, is not intended to be mounted on sliding rails – simply screw it
with the front screws to the vertical rack rails.
Rack Mount Instructions
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. Refer to 10.4 Operating Temperature for more details.
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. Refer to 10.4 Operating Temperature for
more details.
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 overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Refer to 10.1 Important Safety Instructions for details.
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). Refer to 10.1 Important Safety Instructions for details.
10.4 Operating Temperature
Temperature: Min. +10°C / 50°F
Max. +40°C / 104°F, RAID cabinet max. +32°C / 90°F
The KCS system works on a desktop installation without any additional cooling in a typical office
environment. Non desktop installations require proper mounting to provide airflow and prevent overheating.
In case of doubt external ventilation should be provided (e.g.: rack-mounted).
