Rack Mount Safety Precautions

Polycom MGC+/ReadiManager Precautions

The following precautions should be followed with regards to rack mount
safety:
• Decide on a suitable location for the equipment rack that will hold the
MGC+ unit. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well
ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic
fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power
outlet.
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully
•
extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
•
In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from
•
the rack.
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more
•
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each component
•
in the rack.
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and
•
then work up.
Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.
•
• Always keep the rack's front door and all the blade's panels and
components closed when not servicing, to maintain proper cooling.
The following precautions should be followed with regards to installation of
the ReadiConvene:
Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the MGC+
from power surges and voltage spikes, to keep your MCU and ReadiManager
IAM operating in case of a power failure.
