Notes on rack mount safety
- Elevated ambient temperature
If you install the system unit in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater
than that of the ambient room temperature. Be careful not to exceed the
rated maximum ambient temperature of the unit.
- Reduced air flow
When installing equipment in a rack, be careful that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
- Mechanical loading
When mounting the equipment in a rack, be careful to avoid hazardous
conditions caused by uneven mechanical loading.
- Circuit overloading
When power is being supplied to equipment, be careful of excessive
current causing circuit interruptions and overheating of power cables.
When using the equipment, carefully note the ratings.
- Reliable grounding
When installing equipment in a rack, be careful that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
- Mechanical loading
When mounting the equipment in a rack, be careful to avoid hazardous
conditions caused by uneven mechanical loading.
- Circuit overloading
When power is being supplied to equipment, be careful of excessive
current causing circuit interruptions and overheating of power cables.
When using the equipment, carefully note the ratings.
- Reliable grounding
Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular
attention to non-grounded power connections to branch circuits (for
example, in power strips).
