Installation
This chapter provides instructions and tips for installing the chassis into a rack.
Preparing for Setup
Please read this section in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.
Choosing a Setup Location
Decide on a suitable location for the rack. It should be a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. Place it near a grounded power outlet.
•
Leave at least 25 inches clearance in front of the rack to open the front door completely.
•
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease
in servicing.
•
Install in a restricted access location, such as a dedicated equipment room or service closet.
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environ-
ment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Install the equipment in an environment
compatible with the
manufacturer’s
maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).
Adequate Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not
compromised.
Circuit Overloading
Avoid overloading the power supply circuitry or any overcurrent protection equipment. Use equipment
nameplate ratings to calculate your requirements.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, ground the rack, itself. Pay attention to
power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit, such as power strips.
