Rack-mount Guidelines

The DSN-2100 storage system can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. Observe the
following considerations for rack installations. For information about installing the system in
a rack, refer to the documentation for the rack.
All rack-mounting hardware must be carefully assembled to properly support the

equipment. Follow the instructions in the documentation for the rack.
The operating ambient temperature of rack-mounted equipment must not exceed the

maximum rated ambient temperature indicated in this guide.
The rack cabinet must provide sufficient airflow to the front and back of the DSN-2100

storage system to maintain correct cooling. It must include ventilation sufficient to
exhaust the heat generated by equipment installed in the rack.
The rack must allow enough ventilation space between the DSN-2100 storage system and

any other objects in the vicinity. Do not block the air vents on the front and back of the
DSN-2100 enclosure. The air flow clearances specified in this guide must be maintained
within the rack.
The AC supply circuit for rack-mounted equipment must be capable of supplying the

total current specified on all the labels of the rack-mounted equipment.
All AC power supply connections must be properly grounded. To ensure the integrity of

the earth connection, special attention must be given to connections that are not
directly connected to the branch circuit (for example, power strips).
