Hardware Installation
16/32-Port Rack Mount Models (Internal Power Supply) Installation
Use the following procedure to install the DeviceMaster 16-port or 32-port with an
internal power supply.
1.
Place the DeviceMaster on a stable surface, or optionally mount the
DeviceMaster in a rack.
Rack Installation:
a.
Attach the L brackets to the interface using the screws supplied with the
unit.
b.
You can mount the unit facing in either direction.
c.
Attach the L bracket into your rack.
Follow these guidelines when mounting the DeviceMaster in a rack.
•
If the DeviceMaster is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly,
the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than the ambient temperature. Be sure to install the DeviceMaster
in an environment that is compatible with the maximum rated
ambient temperature.
•
Make sure that the mechanical loading is level to avoid a
hazardous condition; such as, loading heavy equipment in the rack
unevenly. The rack should safely support the combined weight of
all equipment in the rack.
•
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the DeviceMaster and to protect it from
overheating, maintain a minimum of 1 inch of clearance on all
sides of the unit.
•
AC power inputs are intended to be used with a three-wire
grounding type plug, which has a grounding pin. Equipment
grounding ensures safe operation. Do not defeat the grounding
means and verify that the DeviceMaster is reliably grounded when
mounting within the rack.
Note: Do not connect multiple units until you have changed the default IP
address, see
