Rack Mount Safety Information
Caution
Due to the device weight, two people should work together to mount the
device in a rack.
Caution
When installing modules in a rack, install the heaviest modules at the
bottom and progressively lighter modules toward the top. This keeps the rack’s center
of gravity as low as possible and helps prevent tipping when moving the rack.
Follow these safety guidelines when installing the device in a rack:
•
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
temperature. Therefore, you should install the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (T
ma
) of 45 °C.
•
Reduced Air Flow
—When installing the equipment in a rack or cabinet, do not
compromise the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment.
•
Mechanical Loading
—When mounting the equipment in the rack or cabinet, avoid uneven
mechanical loading that could create a hazardous condition.
