Safety and installation considerations
Physical location and spacing
n
Install equipment in Restricted Access Areasonly (dedicated equipment rooms/closets) in
accordance with Articles 110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70.
n
To ensure proper ventilation and air flow for units, provide at least 12 inches (30 centimeters)
of clearance on all sidesfor each unit.
n
Distribute weight evenly in the rack to avoid overloading.
Temperature
n
Elevated operating ambient temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating ambient temperatureof the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient temperature. Install rack-mounted equipment in an environment compatible with the
manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
n
For a rack setup with forced air, the device can run 0-55° Cwith no extra space above or below
the device (default design of the ConnectPort TS8 16 Rack provides 1/16” = 2mm between
devices).
n
For a rack setup with no forced air, sure the air in-between devices doesnot get warmer than
55°Cby providing space between thedevices, controlling the ambient temperature on the
rack, distributing weight evenly in the rack to avoid overloading, checking equipment
nameplate ratings before connecting to the supply circuit, and maintaining reliable earthing of
the rack-mounted equipment.
