Setup Location
Your ReadyNAS storage system is intended for installation in a restricted access location
(dedicated equipment rooms, service closets, and the like) only.
Keep the following considerations in mind as you install your system:
•
Ambient operating temperature. If the system is installed in a closed or multiunit
rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment might
be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consider installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient
temperature. See Defaults and Technical Specifications on page 109.
•
Reduced airflow. Mount the equipment into a rack so that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation is not compromised.
•
Mechanical loading. Mount the equipment into a rack so that a hazardous condition
does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
•
Circuit overloading. Consider the equipment's connection to the power supply
circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might create on
overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate
ratings when addressing this concern.
•
Reliable grounding. This product requires reliable grounding to be maintained at
all times. To ensure this, ground the rack itself. Pay particular attention to power
supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (for
example, the use of power strips).
•
Clearance. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack (about 25 inches) to enable
you to open the front door completely and in the back of the rack (about 30 inches)
to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
