NOTE: A note is used to highlight procedures pertaining to the installation, operation, or maintenance of the product.

WARNING: Failure to read, understand and follow the following information can result in serious personal injury, damage to the

equipment or voiding of the warranty. It is the responsibility of the Installer/User to ensure that this product is loaded according to
specifications.

WARNING: Exceeding the weight ratings on page 4 can result in serious injury or damage to the equipment. It is the responsibility of
the Installer/User to ensure the components installed do not surpass the weight ratings as an unstable condition can occur which may
cause possible injury or damage.

CAUTION: If there is visible damage on the product, it must not be installed.

CAUTION: Safety measures must be practiced at all times during the assembly of this product. Use proper safety equipment and

tools for the assembly procedure to prevent personal injury.

of the furnishing tipping over.

CAUTION: The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

Safety Instructions: Rack Mount

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.

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.

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 circuit might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounting 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).

Disconnect Device (Pluggable Equipment): The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

CABLE MANAGEMENT

This topic shows you how to create a proper service loop when running cables to equipment installed in
the rack inside your lectern.

1. Load your equipment into the rack and form a service loop by using wire ties (S) to attach the cables
to the lacer bars on the back of the rack and lectern as shown. (FIGURE W)

NOTE: The length of the service loop should be a minimum of 2’ for proper clearance when removing the
rack from the lectern and servicing equipment.

2. Run the equipment cables through one of the grommet holes on the bottom of the lectern and into
your desired receptacle.

3. Re-install the rack on the guide brackets inside the lectern. For more information, see “Removing the
Rack From the Guide Brackets” on page 7.
