Rackmounting your Library

If you are rackmounting your library, use the Rackmounting Kit that is available from ADIC. The Scalar 100
requires 14U space in a standard 19 inch rack.
Before rackmounting your library, read the following guidelines:
• For continued safe operation, the recommended maximum internal ambient temperature of the rack
should not exceed 40
• During installation of a rackmounted unit, do not block or otherwise restrict airflow to the power
supply front or rear vents.
• To maintain rack stability, make certain mechanical loading of the rack results in a low center of
gravity.
• Before installing a unit into a rack, consider the overall loading of the branch circuit supplying power
to the rack. See
• Because this unit is intended to be attached to an earth ground, ensure that a reliable path to earth
ground is maintained within the rack.
