Rack Mounting Instructions
When mounting the PDU to a network/data rack, please take note of the following safety and
precautionary guidelines:
A) Please only use the provided mounting hardware.
B) 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 specified by the
manufacturer.
C) Reduced Air Flow – Equipment should be installed so that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
D) Mechanical Loading – Equipment should be mounted so that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
E) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment
to the supply circuit and to 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.
F) 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).
G) For pluggable equipment, the socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and
shall be easily accessible. A suitably rated, listed branch circuit breaker shall be
provided as part of the building installation.
