Rack Mounting Guidelines; Mechanical Loading; Ambient Temperature; Circuit Overloading - Motorola DSR-6100 Operator's Manual

Rack Mounting Guidelines

The DSR-6100, with the supplied mounting brackets is designed for installation in an EIA
standard 19-inch (480 mm) equipment rack. Place each DSR-6100 in a stable and level
position within the rack and ensure that all front enclosure screws are tightened to 14 in-lbs.
If multiple DSR-6100s are installed in a rack assembly, the operator may choose to have a
certification agency evaluate the condition of the rack.

Mechanical Loading

The mounting rack location should be secure and level to avoid hazardous instability to the
equipment due to uneven loading or weight distribution within the rack.

Ambient Temperature

When installing the DSR-6100 within a closed or multi-unit rack, the ambient temperature
may be greater than the ambient temperature within the room. Therefore, verify that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised (maximum temperature
for the equipment is 40° C). Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient
temperature for the DSR-6100's location when planning for cooling and air circulation. To
evacuate the DSR-6100's warm air output from within the mounting rack, Motorola
Mobility recommends the use of a fan on top of the rack.

Circuit Overloading

If the DSR-6100 is connected to a power strip, rather than a branch circuit's direct
connection, use special care to ensure that the unit is properly connected. Always consider
the affect that overloading circuits might have on over-current protection and supply
wiring. To ensure that circuits are not overloaded, read the DSR-6100 UL regulatory power
label on top of the unit. Check all equipment power/amperage ratings to ensure the
mounting rack power rating is not exceeded.

Earth Ground

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). The RF-IN antenna cable should only be connected while the unit is
properly grounded. The shield of the coaxial cable should be earthed in YP accordance with
Article 820.93 of the NEC (National Electrical Code), ANSI/NFPA 70:2005, or equivalent.

Battery Replacement

Do not replace the lithium battery used in the Motorola DSR-6100. Instead, return the
DSR-6100 to a Motorola Mobility authorized service center for replacement with the same
or equivalent type battery as recommended by the manufacturer.
