Rack-Mounting
Attaching the rack-mount angles
By attaching the included rack-mount angles to this
unit, you can mount it in a rack.
1.
Remove the screws from the side panels. Using
the screws that you removed, attach the rack-
mount angles as shown in the illustration.
Important notes on rack mounting
5 Install in a well-ventilated location.
5 Do not block the cooling vents located on
the unit's top panel and side panels.
5 Avoid mounting the unit in a sealed-type
rack. Warm air within the rack cannot
escape and is sucked into the unit, making
efficient cooling impossible.
5 If the back of the rack cannot be opened, install
an exhaust port or ventilation fan at the top back
surface of the rack, where warm air collects.
5 When using the unit while mounted in a movable
case (portable rack), remove the front and rear rack
covers so that the front and back of the unit are not
obstructed.
5 Take care not to pinch your fingers etc. while
mounting the unit in a rack.
