Installation

Pre-Installation Guidelines

2.3 Pre-Installation Guidelines

Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely to generate electrical noise.

Place the Smart 108/116 IP unit on a flat, clean and dry surface.

The Smart 108/116 IP unit is not intended for connection to exposed outdoor lines.

Ensure that the maximum distance between each computer and the Smart 108/116 IP unit, does not exceed 10 m / 33 ft for RICCs, and 30 m/100 ft for ROCs.

2.4 Rack Mounting the Smart 108/116 IP Unit

2.4.1Rack Mounting Safety Considerations

When mounting Smart 108/116 IP onto a rack, avoid the following conditions:

Elevated operating ambient temperature – The operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient temperature. Therefore, take special care when installing the unit in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly that the environment is compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature.

Reduced airflow – Install the equipment in a rack in such a way that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised. Leave a gap of at least 5 cm / 2” on each side of Smart 108/116 IP.

Uneven mechanical loading – Uneven loading can cause damage to the equipment or personal injury. Mount the equipment in the rack in such a way that a hazardous condition does not result due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit overloading – When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, make sure that the total power of all the components does not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloading of circuits can affect over-current protection and supply wiring, potentially resulting in fire and shock hazards.

Unreliable earthing – Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

2.4.2Mounting the Unit

You can connect the Smart 108/116 IP unit to a server rack, using the supplied rack mounting kit. The brackets can be placed in two possible positions, as illustrated in the following figure.
