Rack Mounting - Motorola APEX1000 Installation And Operation Manual

The correct equipment rack mounting instructions for the APEX1000 are provided below:
•
Elevated Operating Ambient — If the units are installed in a closed or multi-unit
rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be
greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tmax) specified by the manufacturer.
•
Reduced Air Flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should not compromise
the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment.
•
Mechanical Loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack so that uneven
mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.
•
Circuit Overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
•
Reliable Earthing — CAUTION: Separate protective earthing terminals are provided
on the rear of the chassis. These earthing terminals must be permanently connected
to earth by a SERVICE PERSON.

Rack Mounting

To mount the APEX1000 in the rack:
1. Install the two mounting brackets to the rear mounting angles on the rack using four
#10 32 x .50-inch long screws (without plastic washers).
