3. Tips for Rack Mounting
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: The operating ambient temperature of the
rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature if the 2U Enclosure
is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly. Install the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature of 40° C.
Ventilation: Do not block or inhibit the air flow to the unit.
Mechanical Loading: Use care to ensure the RAX is mounted in a level position to prevent
damage.
Circuit Overloading: Do not overload the circuits. Refer to the name plate ratings on the
equipment.
Reliable Grounding: Maintain grounding of rack-mounted equipment by using indirect
connections to the branch circuit (i.e. UPS battery backups, power strips).
4. Encryption Information (RAX212 only)
RAX212 includes an internal encryption key preinstalled in each bay. After inserting any drive
and formatting it, that drive will only be readable in the RAX212 and will be fully encrypted including the boot sector, operating system and all files - without performance degradation. The
internal key can be overridden by inserting a different key in the front of the bay.
Plug in the data cable from your computer to RAX. Next, plug in the power cord. With hard drives
in the unit, turn it on. As soon as your drives are formatted, RAX is ready to use!
