22.Mechanical Loading

Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not caused by uneven mechanical loading.

23.Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

24.Reliable Earthing (Grounding)

Reliable grounding of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
