Rack Mounting Guidelines
Observe the following precautions before installing the 6180 Computer
in a rack:
Disconnect all electrical power from the rack before
installing the 6180 Computer.
If installing the 6180 Computer in an enclosed rack, make
sure the ambient temperature stays within 5° to 50° C
(41° to 122° F). Be aware of other nearby devices which
may raise the ambient temperature in the rack. Make sure
there is adequate room for air flow through the 6180
Computer chassis vents.
Verify that the addition of the 6180 Computer does not
cause uneven loading (instability) of the rack.
Check that the power supply limits for the rack
components will not be exceeded by the addition of the
6180 Computer.
Make sure the installation of the 6180 Computer
maintains proper earth grounding of the rack components.
The 6180 Computer requires connection to a power
source having an earth ground (three prong outlet).
Failure to follow these warnings may result in personal
injury or damage to the rack components.
