Rack mount installation

NOTE

You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver for installation.

Before mounting the device in a rack, pay particular attention to the following factors:

• Temperature: Since the temperature inside a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient

room temperature, make sure the rack-environment temperature is within the specified

operating temperature range. (Refer to “Operating environment” on page 60.)

• Mechanical loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.

• Circuit overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.

• Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention should

be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains.

Follow the steps below to mount devices in rack.

1. Remove the rack mount kit from the shipping carton. The kit contains two L-shaped mounting

brackets and mounting screws.

2. Attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the device as illustrated in Figure 14.
