CSE-RACK14U Mini-Rack Cabinet User’s Guide
3-2 Choosing a Setup Location
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. See "Rack Precautions" in Chapter 2: "System Safety" on page 2-1for other safety precautions you should follow.
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~22-inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
3-3 Component Mounting Considerations
Consider the following before mounting components into your CSE-RACK14U mini-rack cabinet. Your mini-rack cabinet supports Supports industry standard EIA 19" rackmount servers and equipment with regular square mounting holes.
Please follow the user guides and manuals for your rack components in order to install them safely into the mini-rack cabinet.
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
