    Hardware Installation 2.8. Rack-mount Safety Precautions For your protection, observe the following rack-mount safety precautions when setting up your equipment: • Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
