To mount the RAID system in standard-sized rack, follow these instructions
:
1. Place the RAID system on a hard flat surface with the front panel facing you.
2. Attach a rack–mount bracket to one side of the RAID system with the supplied screws.
Then attach the other bracket to the other side.
3. Make sure the brackets are properly attached to the RAID system.
4. Use the appropriate screws (not included) to securely attach the brackets to your rack.
5. 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
specified by the manufacturer.
6. 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.
7. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
8. 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.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
9. 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).
