Rack Mount Setup
Use the included rack mount hardware to install the unit according to the instructions below.
Rack Mounting Considerations
Observe these rack mount considerations.
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 maximum rated
ambient temperature found in
Appendix A, “Default Settings and Specifications” .
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.

Danger: A unit with installed drives can weigh more than eighty pounds. So as to avoid
injury or damage to the equipment, plan to perform the rack mount installation
with appropriate assistance.
