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 overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
•
Reliable earthing (grounding) — 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 (such as use of power strips).
