Rack Mount Instructions

When you install the XCS device in a rack, make sure you consider:
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
If you install the XCS device in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment could be greater than the ambient temperature of the room.
The XCS device is certified to operate correctly between 32–104°F (0–40°C).
Reduced Air Flow
When you install the XCS device in a rack, make sure that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
When you mount the XCS device in the rack, avoid hazardous conditions caused by an uneven
mechanical load.
Circuit Overloading
Make sure you connect the XCS device to the power supply circuit in such a way that no circuits are
overloaded and there is no impact on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Reliable Grounding
Make sure all rack-mounted equipment is correctly grounded. For example, use power strips instead
of direct connections to the branch circuit.
