Preface

Environmental Considerations for Installation of McDATA Equipment

Consider the following when installing McDATA equipment:

•The rack environment may be hotter than the room ambient temperature. Be sure that the air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

•When mounting equipment in a rack, avoid uneven loading to prevent a tipping hazard.

•Be sure the electrical supply circuit is adequate, based on the quipment nameplate rating, and avoid overloading to protect supply wiring outages due to over-current protection.

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