The following information will help you plan your equipment rack installation:
•
Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Make sure that the rack is not congested
because each unit generates heat. Heat generated by equipment near the bottom of the
rack can be drawn upward into the intake ports of the equipment above. An enclosed
rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide cooling air.
•
When mounting a chassis in an open rack, make sure that the rack frame does not block
the intake or exhaust ports. If the chassis is installed on slides, check the position of the
chassis when it is seated in the rack.
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you
— This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only
unit in the rack.
— When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from
the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the
rack.
— If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers
before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
