Rack Mounting Considerations

Feature	Description
Ambient Operating	If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient
Temperature	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.
Reliable Ground	A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the
	rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given
	to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the
	branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips, and so on.).

Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the StorTrends 3200 into a rack with the rack rails provided. If the StorTrends 3200 has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip this step.

There are a variety of rack units on the market that may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
