Mounting Precautions
When you put the Remote 2C into a rack, follow these mounting precautions:
The rack or cabinet should be adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable and/or falling over. The first unit (e.g, hub, switch, or
Remote 2C) should be mounted in a position toward the bottom of the
rack for stability and to make it easier to stack the other products on top.
Before mounting a Remote 2C, plan its location and orientation relative
to other devices and equipment. Also consider the cabling that will be
attached to the Remote 2C and the ports that will be used. Verify that there
is room for the grouped cables to trail out from the side of the Remote 2C.
Allow at least 2.54 cm (1 inch) in the front of the Remote 2C. In the back
of the Remote 2C, allow at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space for the
power cord.
Ensure that the Remote 2C does not overload the power circuits, wiring,
and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading
the supply circuits, add together the amperage ratings from the name-
plates of all the other equipment installed on the same circuits and
compare the total with the rating limits for the supply circuits.
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use
the supplied power cord to connect the Remote 2C to the circuit. See the
Safety Statements in this chapter.
Do not install the Remote 2C in an environment where the operating
ambient temperature might exceed 55°C (131°F).
Make sure the air flow around the sides of the Remote 2C is not
restricted.
Make sure to reinstall the cover plate over any open module slots.
This is required not only for safety, also to ensure proper cooling.
