Hardware Installation
Safety Precautions
A)Operating Temperature - In a rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. The equipment should be installed in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B)Air Flow - Make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
