Rack Mount Setup
Use the included rack mount hardware to install the unit according to the following
instructions.
DANGER:
A unit with installed drives can weigh more than 80 pounds. So as to
avoid injury or damage to the equipment, plan to perform the rack
mount installation with appropriate assistance.
Ambient Operating Temperature
If the unit installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature
of the rack environment might be greater than the ambient temperature of the room.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature found in
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due
to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply
circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on over current
protection and power supply wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings when addressing
this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be
grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the
direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips).
