Safety Recommendations for Rack Installations of MVPFXS-8/16/24
Mounting: Mechanically, this unit is designed for a one-high industry standard EIA 19-inch rack enclosure. The
product must be installed by qualified service personnel in a restricted-access area, in accordance with articles
110-16, 10-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
• Ensure proper installation of the unit in a closed or multi-unit enclosure by following the recommended
installation as defined by the enclosure manufacturer. Do not place the unit directly on top of other
equipment or place other equipment directly on top of the unit.
• If installing the unit in a closed or multi-unit enclosure, ensure adequate airflow within the rack so that
the maximum recommended ambient temperature is not exceeded.
• Ensure that the unit is properly connected to earth ground by verifying that it is reliably grounded when
mounted within a rack. If a power strip is used, ensure that the power strip provides adequate grounding
of the attached apparatus.
• When mounting the equipment in the rack, make sure mechanical loading is even to avoid a hazardous
condition, such as loading heavy equipment in rack unevenly. The rack used should safely support the
combined weight of all the equipment it supports.
• Ensure that the mains supply circuit is capable of handling the load of the equipment. See the power
label on the equipment for load requirements (full specifications for MultiVOIP models are presented in
chapter 1 of this manual).
• Maximum ambient temperature for the unit is 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit) at 20-90% non-
condensing relative humidity.
• This equipment should only be installed by properly qualified service personnel.
• Only connect like circuits. In other words, connect SELV (Secondary Extra Low Voltage) circuits to SELV
circuits and TN (Telecommunications Network) circuits to TN circuits.
• To reduce the risk of shock, all access doors should be closed during normal operation of the equipment.
