Before You Start

ETEP Site Preparation

Most ETEP models can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied mounting kit, or simply placed on a rack shelf or solid surface. Before installing the ETEP in a 19-inch rack, consider the following guidelines:

●Ambient temperature

Install the ETEP in an environment compatible with the 40ºC maximum recommended ambient temperature. Extra clearance above or below the unit on the rack is not required; however, be aware that equipment placed in the rack beneath the ETEP can add to the heat load. Therefore, avoid installing in an overly congested rack. Air flowing to or from other equipment in the rack might interfere with the normal flow of cooling air through the ETEP, increasing the potential for overheating.

●Air flow

Make sure that there is sufficient flow of air around the ETEP so that safe operation is not compromised. Maintain a clearance of at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) at the sides of the ETEP to ensure adequate air intake and exhaust. If installing in an enclosed rack, make sure the rack has adequate ventilation or an exhaust fan. An enclosed rack with a ventilation system that is too powerful can prevent proper cooling by creating negative air pressure around the ETEP.

●Mechanical Loading

Keep the center of gravity in the rack as low as possible. This ensures that the weight of the ETEP will not make the rack unstable. Make sure that the rack is secured and use the proper mounting hardware to secure the ETEP to the rack.

●Circuit Loading

Consider the connection of the ETEP to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consult the voltage and amperage ratings on the UL label affixed to the unit’s rear panel when addressing this concern.

●Grounding

Maintain reliable grounding of a rack-mounted ETEP. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit, such as the use of power strips.

●Maintenance

Allow at least 19 inches (48.3 cm) of clearance at the front of the rack for maintenance. Use a cable- management system to help keep cables organized, out of the way, and free from kinks or bends that degrade cable performance.
