Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation
is not compromised.
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to
uneven mechanical loading. Racks should generally be filled with equipment from the bottom up.
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry
and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection and
power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be
grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct
connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips, and so on).
This section provides information on installing the ISS C1104-GP6 into a rack. If the system has
already been mounted into a rack, refer to
variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.
You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Note that this system's rail kit is designed to fit a rack between 26-in and 33.5-in deep.
The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit.
