1) Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
: When the
6200
plus
chassis is installed in a
closed or multi-unit rack assembly, care should be taken to insure that the cooling air
supply is sufficient to maintain the the operating ambient temperature at or below 45
degrees C. Consideration should be given to recirculation of cooling air inside the
enclosure and the total heat load (in watts) generated by all equipment within the rack
enclosure.
2) Reduced airflow
: Care should be taken to insure that mounting the equipment on a
rack shelf in an enclosure OR in close proximity to other equipment does not
compromise the flow of cooling air to the
6200
plus
chassis. A minimum clear distance
of 3 inches front and rear should be provided to allow the free flow of cooling air to
and from the chassis. Obstructing the airflow by placing doors or other equipment
closer than three inches should be accompanied by lowering the maximum operating
temperature of the cooling air supply
.
Mechanical Loading: When rack mounting the
6200
plus
on a rack shelf or enclosure, care
should be taken to insure even side-to side loading The load should not be cantilevered
outside of the supporting rails such that it presents a tip-over hazard to installation or service
personnel. The chassis can be safely lifted, handled and installed by one person without need
for lifting hooks or equipment.
