Rack-Mount instructions
To mount the appliance to a rack (1U), you need the special RED 50 rack-mount ears,
which is a separate item to be ordered. Make sure you only use the screws supplied
with the rack-mount ears. Using the wrong screws could damage the hardware
appliance and would invalidate your warranty.
1. Attach the rack-mount ears to the appliance
Place the appliance on a hard, flat surface with the front panel facing you.
Attach the rack–mount ears to the left and right side of the appliance with the
supplied screws. Make sure the ears are properly attached to the appliance.
2. Choose the rack location
For general warnings on rack-mount installations, see below.
3. Attach the brackets to the rack with appropriate screws (not included).
General Warnings for Rack-Mount Installations
1. 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 (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
2. Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such
that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. 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.
5. 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).
