Rackmount Safety Guidelines
In Raritan products which require rack mounting, follow these precautions:
Operation temperature in a closed rack environment may be
greater than room temperature. Do not exceed the rated
maximum ambient temperature of the Power Distribution Units.
See
Specifications
(on page 202) in the User Guide.
Ensure sufficient airflow through the rack environment.
Mount equipment in the rack carefully to avoid uneven mechanical
loading.
Connect equipment to the supply circuit carefully to avoid
overloading circuits.
Ground all equipment properly, especially supply connections, to
the branch circuit.
Circuit Breaker Orientation Limitation
Usually a PDU can be mounted in any orientation. However, when
mounting a PDU with circuit breakers, you must obey these rules:
Circuit breakers CANNOT face down. For example, do not
horizontally mount a Zero U PDU with circuit breakers on ceiling.
If a rack is subject to shock in environments such as boats or
airplanes, the PDU CANNOT be mounted upside down. If installed
upside down, shock stress reduces the trip point by 10%.
Note: If normally the line cord is down, upside down means the line
cord is up.
