Setup guide
Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of
air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Caution: Avoid placing high heat-producing equipment directly above
or below the enclosure(s). Modula enclosures are designed to adequately
dissipate the small amount of heat they produce under normal operating
conditions; however, this design is defeated when high heat-producing
equipment is placed directly above or below the enclosure(s).
Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on
over current protection and supply wiring.
Reliable Earthing (Grounding)
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g., use of power strips).
Caution: To avoid system damage, turn on all power switches in a
system at the same time. WE RECOMMEND ATTACHING ALL
POWER CORDS TO A SINGLE SURGE PROTECTOR AND/OR AN
AC LINE CONDITIONER.
