Rack Mounting
This product is designed to be rack-mounted. Be sure to
observe following installation rules of this kind of
equipment:
Do not block the vents. This device has ventilation
holes on the both side to prevent the internal
temperature from becoming too high. Inadequate
ventilation can result in overheating, possibly
causing damage to the device(s), or even fire.
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 specified by the
manufacturer.
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.
In some cases, to be sure to ensure sufficient
airflow, leave the rear and the front of the rack open,
leave sufficient space (>5cm) on each side of the
rack, and leave space above rack (>1cm).
Or it can be better to have appropriate fan kit in the
multi-unit rack
Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment
in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.
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 over current protection and
supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
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).
