Appendix A: Mounting rules
Overview
Purpose
This chapter provides important mechanical mounting rules which must be observed
during physical installation.
General rules
The following rules must be observed in general:
•
If any other equipment than AMC unit is mounted within the same rack, it is highly
recommended that a heat baffle (408905057) is mounted between the AMC unit and
the other equipment to assure thermal separation of the units.
•
If the installation cannot guarantee proper air flow for cooling, it is recommended to
use AMC units with mounted fan units.
•
The unit ventilation holes must not be covered.
•
In the case of vertical unit mounting, the power connectors of the units must show
always to the bottom due to thermic requirements.
