Page 27: Circuit Overloading
Chapter 3: Setup and Installation Circuit Overloading 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. -
Page 28: Installation
SuperBlade User’s Manual Installation Use the procedure below for installing an enclosure in a rack. Installing an enclosure: 1. Decide where you want to place the blade enclosure into the rack (see "Rack Mounting Considerations" in the previous section). 2. Position the Enclosure Template at the front of the enclosure to determine the locations of the screws for the enclosure rails (see Figure 3-1). -
Page 29: Figure 3-3. Attaching The Optional Handles
Chapter 3: Setup and Installation NOTE: These handles are optional and need only be installed when mounting the system into a short rack. When mounting into a deep rack, they are unnecessary and regular screws should be used instead of thumbscrews. Be aware that these handles are not to be used for lifting the system, they are only to be used to slide the system within the rack. -
