CHAPTER 4 Mounting the Device
4.
Flip the device over again so that it rests on its underside with the rubber feet in contact
with the surface.
Rack Mounting
The device is designed to fit into a 19-inch industrial rack of 1 rack-unit height (1U). You can
mount it in the rack using any one of the following mounting options:
■
(Recommended) Mounting the chassis on a pre-installed shelf in a 19-inch rack – see
Mounting in a 19-inch Rack using a Pre-Installed Rack Shelf
■
Mounting the chassis by attaching it directly to the 19-inch rack frame (posts) using the
supplied front-mounting brackets and orderable rear-mounting brackets – see Mounting in
a 19-inch Rack using Front and Rear Brackets
Rack Mount Safety Instructions: When installing the chassis in a rack, implement the
following safety instructions:

Mounting in a 19-inch Rack using a Pre-Installed Rack Shelf
The device can be placed on a pre-installed shelf in a 19-inch rack, as described below. This is
the recommended method for mounting the device.
➢ To mount the device on a pre-installed shelf in a 19-inch rack:
1.
Make sure that your rack shelf is secured to the rack posts and in a horizontal level position
in the rack.
2.
Attach the front-mounting brackets (supplied) to the chassis, using the supplied screws.
Elevated Operating Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (TA) of 40°C (104°F).
Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not
compromised.
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 over-current 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 (e.g., use of power strips.)
