When installing the chassis in a rack, implement the following safety
instructions:
•
Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the 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. Avoid stacking equipment one on top of the other and make sure to
keep the ventilation openings free from cables or any objects to allow free air
circulation.
•
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 overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
•
Connection to Protective Earth - To avoid injury, electrical shock, and damage
to the device, 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.)

To install mount the device in a 19-inch rack:
1. On one side of the chassis, locate the two mounting screws (nearest to the front
panel).
2. Remove the two screws.
3. Insert the peg on one of the brackets into the third air vent down on the column of air
vents nearest the front panel.
4. Swivel the bracket until the holes in the bracket align with the two empty screw holes
on the chassis.
5. Use the supplied screws to attach the bracket to the side of the chassis.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to attach the second bracket to the other side of the chassis.
7. Position the device in the rack and line up the bracket holes with the rack frame holes.
8. Use four standard rack screws (not supplied) to attach the device to the rack.
