Rack Mounting A Kvm Appliance; General Guidelines - Fujitsu series3-1621 User Giude

Installation
• Operate the KVM s3-1621 appliance only from the type of external power source
that is indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of
power source that is required, consult the service provider or local power company.
• Be sure that the monitor and attached devices are electrically rated to operate with
the power that is available in the current location.
• Use only power cables that are provided with the KVM s3-1621 appliance.
• To help prevent electric shock, connect the KVM s3-1621 appliance and peripheral
power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped
with three-prong connectors to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter
connectors or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total ampere
rating of all products that are connected to the power strip does not exceed 80
percent of the ampere ratings limit for the power strip.
• To help protect the KVM s3-1621 appliance from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
uninterruptible power supply.
• Carefully position KVM s3-1621 appliance cables and power cables. Route cables
so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on any
cables.

Rack mounting a KVM appliance

Before installing the KVM s3-1621 appliance and other components in the rack (if not
already installed), stabilize the rack in a permanent location. Install the equipment
starting at the bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Avoid uneven loading or
overloading of racks.

General guidelines

• Refer to the rack installation documentation that accompanied the rack for
specific caution statements and procedures.
• Elevated ambient temperature: In a closed rack assembly, the operation
temperature of the rack environment can be greater than room ambient. Use care
not to exceed the rated maximum ambient temperature of the unit.
• Reduced air flow: Carefully install the equipment in a rack so that an adequate
amount of airflow is maintained for safe operation of the equipment.
• Mechanical loading: Avoid a potentially hazardous condition caused by uneven
mechanical loading by carefully mounting the equipment in the rack.
• Circuit overloading: Consider the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Observe equipment nameplate ratings for
maximum current.
