5 Installing on a Rack

This section describes what to do before installing on a rack and how to rack mount.

Before Installing on a Rack

Before installing on a rack, be sure that the environment is within the recommended range:

Operating temperature range +5 to +45 Deg. Centigrade

Operating humidity range

5 to 65% RHL, non-condensing

Storage temperature range

-20 to +70 Deg. Centigrade

Storage humidity range

5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing

￿ CAUTION!!

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

1It is located within the recommended environmental conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the room ambient temperature.

2Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the machine.

3The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal position.

4You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information. For example, for fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product label.

5The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way and is connected only to an electricity socket with grounding. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips), and that you use only the power cord that is supplied with the machine.

How to Rack Mount

To rack-mount a machine:

1Attach both ear brackets to the machine. To do so, remove the screws from each side of the machine (3 on each side), and replace those screws through the ear brackets.

2Place the ears of the machine against the rack rails, and insert the proper screws (not provided) through each of the four holes in the rack ears.

Note that:

￿In some models, the front panel may feature built-in rack ears

￿Detachable rack ears can be removed for desktop use

￿Always mount the machine in the rack before you attach any cables or connect the machine to the power

￿If you are using a Kramer rack adapter kit (for a machine that is not 19"), see the Rack Adapters user manual for installation instructions (you can download it at: http://www.kramerelectronics.com)
