3.3Placement and Power Connection

3.3.1 General Rack Considerations

The following potential hazards should be considered when installing the ONS 15216 EDFA2 within a rack:

•Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature—If installed in a closed or multi-module rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature.

•Reduced Air Flow—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. Do not block ventilation holes beyond what is allowed with supplied mounting brackets.
