Avocent CCM Using AVWorks Software

Chapter 1: Product Overview 3

•Reduced Airflow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air- flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

•Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

•Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings for maximum current.

•Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
