The details should be provided so that consideration shall be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature 35°C (95°F).

2Reduced air flow

Installation of the equipment in a rack shall be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3Mechanical loading

Mounting of the equipment in the rack shall be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4Circuit overloading

Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading circuits may have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of the equipment nameplate rating should be used when addressing this concern.
