Caution

Before installing your WAVE appliance in a rack, review the following guidelines:

•Ensure that the room air temperature is below 95 °F (35 °C).

•Do not block any air vents; usually 6 inches (15 cm) of space provides proper airflow.

•Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.

•Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.

•Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.

•Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.

•Connect the WAVE appliance to a properly grounded outlet.

•Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.

Use safe practices when lifting.

Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb (50 kg) on top of rack-mounted devices.

Install the appliance only in a rack cabinet with perforated doors.
