Preface
Environmental Considerations for Installation of McDATA
Equipment
Consider the following when installing McDATA equipment:
•
The rack environment may be hotter than the room ambient
temperature. Be sure that the air flow required for safe operation
of the equipment is not compromised.
•
When mounting equipment in a rack, avoid uneven loading to
prevent a tipping hazard.
•
Be sure the electrical supply circuit is adequate, based on the
quipment nameplate rating, and avoid overloading to protect
supply wiring outages due to over-current protection.
•
Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment.
Particular attention should be given to power supply connections
other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example,
use of power strips).
