(book mounting), as shown in Figure 3. The AGM800 can be mounted either on its narrow side using 2 M4 screws, or on its wider side using 4 M4 screws. It is important to mount the product on a metal panel for both grounding and secure connections.
If adapters are mounted on a backplane, the backplane temperature must not exceed the ambient limit defined in the section Environmental Specifications. It is recommended to install a cooling fan at the bottom of the cabinet for best circulation. Figure 3. Mounting multiple units within cabinet AGM800 Product Manual Rev.2.0 Page 12...
3.3.3 Grounding It is recommended to install the AGM800 on a metal plate for better power dissipation, reduced EMI, and grounding connection. Make sure the plate is not painted. The heatsink of the AGM800 is electrically conductive and serves as the protective earth (PE) ground of the product.
