Rack Mounting Instructions
Observe these points:
1 Elevated operating ambient temperature.
If you install the Imagestore 750 in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambi-
ent temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature.
Therefore, give consideration to installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature specified by the manufacturer.
2 Reduced air flow.
Install the Imagestore 750 in a rack so that the amount of air flow does not compromise safe
operation of the equipment.
3 Mechanical loading.
Mount the Imagestore 750 in the rack with even mechanical loading to prevent potential
hazardous conditions.
4 Circuit overloading.
Give consideration to the connection of the equipment to your plant’s power supply circuit
and the effect that circuit overloading might have on over-current protection and supply
wiring. Consider equipment nameplate ratings appropriately.
5 Reliable grounding.
Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, the use of
power strips).
Ventilation
The Imagestore 750 is ventilated front-to-back. Air enters the unit through the front, and
exhaust air leaves the unit through the rear of the unit and through slots in the side at the rear.
Example: Note: It is essential that the air ventilation holes in the front, rear, and side of the
Imagestore 750 remain clear of any obstruction. Miranda recommends leaving a minimum
half-inch gap above and below the Imagestore 750 in a rack.
