Rack Mount Safety Instructions (UL)

When installing the chassis in a rack, be sure to implement the following Safety instructions recommended by Underwriters Laboratories:

Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that

the amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

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 overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted 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.)

To attach the device to a 19-inch rack, take these 2 steps:

1.Position the device in your 19-inch rack and align the left-hand and right-hand bracket holes to holes (of your choosing) in the vertical tracks of the 19-inch rack.

2.Use standard 19-inch rack bolts (not provided) to fasten the device to the frame of the rack.

AudioCodes recommends using two additional (not supplied) rear mounting brackets to provide added support.

Note: Users assembling the rear brackets by themselves should note the following:

The distance between the screws on each bracket is 26.5 mm.

To attach the brackets, use 4-40 screws with a maximal box penetration length of 3.5 mm.

To place the device on a 19-inch rack’s shelf, take these 2 steps:

1.Place the device on the preinstalled shelf.
