Rackmount Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

The ambient operating temperature in the rack may be an issue and is dependent upon the rack load and ventilation. When installing in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, make sure that the temperature will not exceed the maximum rated ambient temperature.

Airflow

Ensure that the airflow within the rack is not compromised.

Circuit Overloading

When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.

Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
