Rack-mount installation considerations

Before mounting the external power supply in a rack, consider the following factors:

• Temperature: Because the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range.
• Airflow: Be sure that the airflow direction for all equipment in a rack is the same or consistent.
• Mechanical loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted device.
• Circuit overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.
• Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded.
