4.1 4.1 Installation PreparationInstallation Preparation

When selecting an installation location, ensure that all of the

following conditions are met before proceeding�

4.1.1 4.1.1 Elevated Operating Ambient TemperatureElevated Operating Ambient Temperature

If you install the panel in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the

operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be

greater than room ambient� Therefore, take care to install the

equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient

temperature (TMA)�

4.1.2 4.1.2 Reduced Air FlowReduced Air Flow

Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the

amount of air ow required for safe operation of the equipment is not

compromised�

4.1.3 4.1.3 Mechanical LoadingMechanical Loading

Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a

hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical

loading�

4.1.4 4.1.4 Circuit OverloadingCircuit Overloading

Give consideration to the connection of the equipment to the

supply circuit and the e󰀨ect that overloading of the circuits might

have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring� Use appropriate

consideration for equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this

concern�

4.1.5 4.1.5 Reliable EarthingReliable Earthing

Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment� Pay particular

attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the

branch circuit (e�g�, use of power strips)�

4.1.6 4.1.6 Disconnect DeviceDisconnect Device

A readily accessible disconnect device must be incorporated in the

building installation wiring�
