Rack Setup Precautions

Warning:

Before rack mounting the unit, the physical environment should be set up to safely ac- commodate the unit. Be sure that:

•The weight of all units in the rack is evenly distributed. Hazardous conditions may be created by an uneven weight distribution.

•The rack will not tip over when the unit is mounted, even when the unit is fully ex- tended from the rack.

•For a single rack installation, stabilizers are attached to the rack.

•For multiple rack installations, racks are coupled together.

•The rack is grounded and will maintain a reliable ground at all times.

•A power cord will be long enough to fit into the unit when properly mounted in the rack and will be able to supply power to the unit.

•The connection of the unit to the power supply will not overload any circuits.

•The unit is only connected to a properly rated supply circuit. Reliable earthing (grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

•The air flow through the unit’s fan or vents is not restricted.

•The maximum operating ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C).

NOTE: Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.

WARNING: Extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more components simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
