3-2 Choosing a Setup Location
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free
area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic
fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. See
"Rack Precautions" in Chapter 2: "System Safety" on page 2-1 for other safety
precautions you should follow.
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely (~22-inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the
rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.This product is for installation
only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets
and the like).
3-3 Component Mounting Considerations
Consider the following before mounting components into your CSE-RACK14U mini-rack
cabinet. Your mini-rack cabinet supports Supports industry standard EIA 19" rackmount
servers and equipment with regular square mounting holes.
Please follow the user guides and manuals for your rack components in order to install
them safely into the mini-rack cabinet.
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room.
Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise
due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply
circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on
over-current protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
