1.4.3 Installation Guidelines

guidelines:
• Consider the effect of additional electronic equipment and its
generated heat on the OMS 870 system equipment.
• Make sure the equipment rack is properly bolted to the ground
and, if required, to the ceiling.
• Ensure that the weight of the equipment does not make the rack
unstable.
• When mounting the equipment between two posts or rails,
ensure that the minimum clearance between the sides is 485 mm
(19 in.).
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 500 mm (19.7 in.) in front of the
equipment and 500mm (19.7 in.) at the back of the equipment.
Grounding Considerations for 48 V
