USER GUIDE

5.1Avoiding general rack mounting problems

Elevated operating ambient temperature

The operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient when installing into a closed or multi-unit rack assembly. So install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature.

Reduced airflow

Install the equipment in a rack in such a way that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised.

Mechanical loading

Mount the equipment in the rack in such a way that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

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 earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Give attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

6. Connecting to a rack

Note! For increased rack depth of 905 ~ 990mm, first change the bracket, see section 6.1 on page 11.

Note! The illustrations below show the connections to one side of the SmartRack 116 IP. The connections are the same for the other side.

1. Move the rail until two screws appear, see Figure 1.
