Airflow Restriction
Epica-128 and Epica-256 enclosures are designed to adequately dissipate the heat
they produce under normal operating conditions; however, this design is defeated
when high heat-producing equipment is placed directly above or below an
enclosure.
Caution: To prevent airflow restriction, we recommend 3 inches (7.6 cm) of
clearance around the enclosure openings (the minimum requirement is one
empty rack unit above and below). Avoid placing high heat-producing
equipment directly above or below the enclosure.
Mechanical (Rack) Loading
When installing equipment in a rack, distribute the weight to avoid uneven
mechanical loading. Note that the Epica-256 weighs approximately 170 pounds
(77 kg) fully loaded.
Circuit Overloading
When connecting the equipment to the supply circuits, be aware of the effect that
overloading the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.
Reliable Earthing (Grounding)
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. If not using
a direct connection to the branch circuit (e.g., plugging into a power strip), pay
particular attention to supply connections.
Caution: To avoid system damage, follow the power-up sequence on page 6-1.
We recommend attaching all power cords to a surge protector and/or an
AC line conditioner.
