5 Installing on a Rack

This section describes what to do before installing in a rack and how to rack

mount.

Before Installing in a Rack

How to Rack Mount

Before installing in a rack, be sure that the environment is

within the recommended range:

Operating temperature range +5° to +45° C (41° to 113° F)
Operating humidity range

10 to 90% RHL, non-condensing

Storage temperature range

-20° to +70° C (-4° to 158° F)

Storage humidity range

5 to 95% RHL, non-condensing

CAUTION

!!

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking

care that:

1. It is located within the recommended environmental

conditions, as the operating ambient temperature of a

closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the

room ambient temperature.

2. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around

the machine.

3. The machine is placed straight in the correct

horizontal position.

4. You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting

the machine to the supply circuit, overloading the

circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent

protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate

nameplate ratings for information. For example, for

fuse replacement, see the value printed on the

product label.

5. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a reliable way

and is connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention to situations where

electricity is supplied indirectly (when the power cord

is not plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for

example, when using an extension cable or a power

strip, and that you use only the power cord that is

supplied with the machine.

To rack-mount a machine:

1. Attach both ear brackets to the

machine. To do so, remove the

screws from each side of the

machine (3 on each side), and

replace those screws through the

ear brackets.

2. Place the ears of the machine

against the rack rails, and insert the

proper screws (not provided)

through each of the four holes in the

rack ears.

Note that:

In some models, the front panel

may feature built-in rack ears

Detachable rack ears can be

removed for desktop use

Always mount the machine in the

rack before you attach any cables

or connect the machine to the

power

If you are using a Kramer rack

adapter kit (for a machine that is not

19"), see the Rack Adapters user

manual for installation instructions
