Circuit overloading
Care should be taken to ensure that the current does not exceed the
rating of the power source circuitry. This includes cabling, power
distribution units, filters and any other devices through which the main
current flows. The electrical power rating of the enclosure is 100 - 240
VAC, 10 - 5 Amps (50/60 Hz) and must be added to the power demands
of any other electrical devices installed in the equipment rack to arrive
at a total power consumption figure. In addition, surge currents must
be catered for. Disk drives may consume twice the amount of current
at start-up time as they do during steady state operation.
Mechanical consideration
When installing the Altos S300 series enclosure the following
mechanical consideration must be applied.
Mechanical loading
Consideration should be given to the loading of the equipment rack.
To maintain a low centre of gravity (thus reducing the likelihood of
instability) racks should be loaded (where possible) from the bottom of
the equipment rack upwards. This is recommended to ensure personal
safety.
Caution: When installing or removing a rack mount enclosure,
remove all disk drives. It is recommended that you work with at
least one other person when installing an enclosure. This is
necessary to prevent personal injury and damage to the enclosure.
