Rack System Instructions
The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation
instructions:
• Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
the operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the
ambient room temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given
to installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the
manufacturer.
• Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be placed such
that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
• Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be
positioned such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
• 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 overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
• 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 (for example, use of power strips).
