Read and Keep these Instructions v
Rack-Mount Safety Instructions
1 Elevated Operating Ambient—If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified
by the manufacturer.
2 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. Make allowances for cooling air to be
available to the front panel surface and no restrictions at the rear.
3 Mechanical Loading—Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition
is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4 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 over-current protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
5 Reliable Earthing—Reliable Earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular at-
tention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for ex-
ample, use of power strips).
LED Safety Notices
Avid hardware might contain LED or Laser devices for communication use. These devices are compliant
with the requirements for Class 1 LED and Laser Products and are safe in the intended use. In normal op-
eration the output of these laser devices does not exceed the exposure limit of the eye and cannot cause
harm.
