When mounting a device in an enclosed rack ensure adequate ventilation. An enclosed rack should

When mounting a device in an open rack, make sure that the rack frame does not block the intake

If the rack contains only one unit, mount the unit at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is partially filled, load the rack from the bottom to the top, with the heaviest component

If the rack contains stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers prior to mounting or servicing the unit
in the rack.
