IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(Continued from previous page)

HCS6100R Rack Installation (also see pages
1213)

To install the HCS6100R in a rack:

• Carefully slide the HCS6100R into a standard

19-inch equipment rack.

• When mounted in the rack, make sure appro-

priate hardware is used. ALL FOUR
MOUNTING SCREWS MUST BE USED.

• This equipment is not designed to support

other devices. Do not stack.

• Rear cabling must be dressed and supported

so that the weight of the cabling is not a strain
on the HCS6100R connectors.

• MOUNTING OF THE EQUIPMENT IN THE
RACK SHOULD BE SUCH THAT A
HAZARDOUS CONDITION IS NOT ACHIEVED
DUE TO UNEVEN MECHANICAL LOADING.

Rack-mount Temperature Considerations
A. 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 (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer (see “Specifications” information
in this document).

B. 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. To ventilate the system nor­mally and avoid overheating, leave at least 1
inch (2.5 cm) on each side of the HCS6100R
unit. Do NOT stack other equipment on the
top of the HCS6100R unit.

C. Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connec-

tion of the equipment to the supply circuit and
the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and
supply wiring.

D. Reliable Earthing

Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted

equipment. Particular attention should be
given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of

power strips).

E. Mains Outlet Earthing

The apparatus with Class I construction must

be connected to a mains socket outlet with a
protective earthing connection.

HCS6100R Installation on a Flat Surface

To install the HCS6100R on a level surface (table
top, shelf, stacked with other equipment, etc.):

• Carefully place the

face.

HCS6100R

on a level sur-

• Please note the operating temperature from the

specifications.

• Air flow is from bottom to top (when viewed

from the front).
ly and avoid overheating, leave at least 1 inch
(2.5 cm) on each side of the HCS6100R unit.
Do NOT stack other equipment on the top of
the HCS6100R unit.

To ventilate the system normal-

• If necessary, place spacers or rubber feet (not

provided) on top and bottom to avoid obstruct­ing vent holes.
