Rack Mounting Considerations
Feature | Description |
Ambient Operating | If installed in a closed or |
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.
