Installation, Mounting the GSS | Extron electronic GSS 100 manual

Elevated operating ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Rack mounting

UL requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the GSS into or onto a rack (figure 2-1).

Installation instructions

1.	If feet were installed on the bottom of the GSS 100, remove
	them.
2.	Place the GSS 100 on one half of the 1U (one unit high, one
	unit wide) rack shelf (part #60-190-01). Align the front of
	the GSS with the front of the shelf, and align the threaded
	holes on the bottom of the GSS with the holes in the rack
	shelf.
3.	Attach the GSS to the rack shelf with the two provided
	4-40 x 3/16" machine screws. Insert the screws from
	the underside of the shelf, and securely fasten them into
	diagonally-opposite corners (figure 2-1).

4.	Attach the false front panel (provided with the rack shelf)
	to the unoccupied side of the rack (as shown above), or
	install a second half-rack-width device on that side by
	repeating steps 1 – 3.
5.	Attach the rack shelf to the rack using four 10-32 x ¾” bolts
	(provided with the shelf). Insert the bolts through the
	provided #10 beveled washers, then through the holes in
	the rack ears and rack (figure 2-1).
