Rack mounting
UL guidelines for rack mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of these products in a rack:
1.Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit is installed in a closed or
2.Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets adequate air flow for safe operation.
3.Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.
4.Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Give appropriate consideration to the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.
