Rack-Mounting Considerations

Before installing your IP/TV Server in a rack, review the following guidelines:

•

Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack.

•

Ensure that the room air temperature is below 95°F (35°C).

•

Do not block any air vents; usually 6 inches (15 cm) of space provides proper
airflow.

•

Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.

•

Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during
installation.

•

Connect the IP/TV Server to a properly grounded outlet.

•

Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.

•

Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb (50 kg) on top of
rack-mounted devices.

Caution

Use safe practices when lifting.

Warning

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you
must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The
following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

•

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

•

or servicing the unit in the rack.
