Rack Mount Safety Instructions
Elevated Operating Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (T
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.
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 over-current protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
Reliable Earthing: 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.)
