● Attaching it directly to the rack's frame using the device's mounting
brackets (supplied) that need to be attached to the chassis – see

When installing the chassis in a rack, implement the following safety
instructions:
·
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a
closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment with maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) of 40°C (104°F).
·
Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation on the equipment is not compromised.
·
Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack
should be 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 over-current 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 (e.g., use of power strips).
