6.2 Rack-Mounting Safety Instructions

• The ambient operating temperature in the rack may be an issue and is dependent upon the rack load and ventilation. When
installing in a closed or multi-device rack assembly, ensure the temperature will not exceed the maximum rated ambient
temperature.
• Before installing the rack, ensure the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor and the full weight of the rack
rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working
on the rack.
• Always load the rack from the bottom up with the heaviest item loaded into the rack first.
• When loading the rack, avoid creating a hazardous condition due to uneven loading.
• Ensure the rack is level and stable before extending a device from the rack.
• Use caution when pressing the rail release latches or sliding a device into or out of a rack; slide rails can pinch your fingers.
• After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking position, then slide the device into the rack.
• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80
percent of the branch circuit rating.
• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.
• Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a rack.
• Do not connect the RJ11 connector marked "Upgrade" to a public telecommunication network.
• Caution! Slide/Rail (LCD KVM) mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or work space.
