Hardware Installation Manual 4. Mounting the Device
4 Mounting the Device
The device can be mounted in one of the following ways:
Desktop mounting – see Section 4.1 on page 17
19-inch rack mounting – see Section 4.2 on page 17
4.1 Desktop Mounting
The device can be mounted on a desktop by attaching the four anti-slide bumpers
(supplied) to the underside of the device. Once you have attached these bumpers, simply
place it on the desktop in the position you require.
4.2 19-inch Rack Mounting
The device can be installed in a standard 19-inch rack by one of the following methods:
Placing it on a pre-installed shelf in the rack (recommended method).
Attaching it directly to the rack’s frame using the device's front mounting brackets and
rear mounting brackets (not supplied).
Rack-Mount Safety Instructions
When installing the chassis in a rack, adhere to the following safety
instructions:
• Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
of 40°C (104°F).
• Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be
such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation on 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 circuits 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-mounted 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.)
Warning: When mounting the chassis in a 19-inch rack by attaching it to the rack's
frame holes, it is MANDATORY to use two additional rear-mounting
brackets (not supplied).
