Rack System Instructions

The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation instructions:
• Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient room
temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the environmental specifications listed in this document.
• Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be placed such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• 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.
• 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 (for example, use of power strips).
