Connecting The Cables To The Platform - Radware Alteon Installation And Maintenance Manual

Radware Alteon Installation and Maintenance Guide
Installing the Platform
Warning: 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.
Warning: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Warning: 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 overcurrent
protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate
ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Caution: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified in
77.
Note: If the platform is equipped with an AC power supply, connecting a ground wire is not
required, but is recommended.
