Rack-mount considerations
When planning the placement of equipment in your equipment rack, bear in mind the
following:
• Ensure adequate air flow around the chassis to provide sufficient cooling.
Operating ambient temperature will affect the amount of air circulation required to
keep the K2 system within its temperature limitations. See
for details.
• If the system is installed with its ventilation intakes near another system's exhaust
or in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
inside the chassis may be greater than the room's ambient temperature. Install the
system in an environment compatible with this recommended maximum ambient
temperature.
• Ensure the rack is anchored to the floor so that it cannot tip over when the K2
system is extended out of the rack.
• Be sure to mount the K2 system in a way that ensures even weight distribution in
the rack. Uneven mechanical loading can result in a hazardous condition. Secure
all mounting bolts when installing the chassis to the rack.
