Installing the iMediaChassis 6
Install the chassis first before installing any modules into an iMediaChassis.
When installing the chassis, be sure to observe the following precautions to prevent electrical or mechanical damage:
1.Stay within the chassis’ power rating to prevent overload of supply circuits or damage to any overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
2.Maintain reliable ground, especially when connecting to a power strip instead of directly to a branch circuit.
3.Protect the chassis from exposure to sunlight and electrical or magnetic fields.
4.Ensure that the equipment rack remains stable, even with the addition of the chassis and its associated cabling.
To install a
1.Have four #10 screws and four clip nuts available (hardware may vary depending on rack type). The rest of the hardware is supplied with the unit.
2.Locate a suitable location in the rack for installation and secure the
3.Plug the chassis into a reliable, filtered power source.
4.Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or
5.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.
6.Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
7.Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring.
8.Reliable Grounding - Reliable grounding of Rackmounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
