•Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

•Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.

•Circuit overloading — When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this concern.

•Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

Rack mounting procedure

To mount the PC1 on a rack shelf:

1.If rubber feet have been installed on the bottom of the unit, remove them.

2.Mount the PC1 on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16 inch screws in opposite (diagonal) corners of the unit to secure it to the shelf.

3.Attach a blank panel or other units to the rack shelf.

4.Insert the shelf into the rack, aligning the holes in the shelf with those in the rack.

5.Secure the shelf to the rack using the supplied machine screws. This shelf can be mounted in the front or in the rear of the rack.

Under-desk Mounting

The PC1 can also be mounted under furniture, such as a table or podium surface, using the optional under-desk mounting kit MBU 125 (part number 70-077-01).

1.If rubber feet were previously installed on the bottom of the unit, remove them.

2.Attach the mounting brackets to the unit with the provided machine screws.

3.Insert #8 wood screws into the four pilot holes. Tighten each screw into the mounting surface until slightly less than ¼ inch of the screw protrudes.

4.Align the mounting screws with the slots in the brackets, and place the PC1 against the surface with the screws through the bracket slots.
