When installed in a closed multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's
maximum recommended ambient temperature.
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.
Mounting of the equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing the
concern.
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, such as use of power strips.
