Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera- ture of the rack environ-
ment 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
tempera- ture (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 overcurrent protection and power supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Par-
ticular attention should be given to power supply connec- tions other than the direct connections to the
branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).
