Rack Mounting

Prior to installing the device, adhere to the following installation guidelines:
  • Ensure that there is adequate airflow in the rack. Restricted airflow can damage the equipment.
  • Leave at least 1U of vertical space between each device installed in the rack.
  • The rack width and depth should allow for proper serviceability and cable management.
  • Ensure the rack is properly secured to the floor or ceiling.
  • Ensure the rack is properly grounded.
  • Ensure the installer is properly grounded and wearing appropriate safety equipment.
  • Always load the rack from the bottom up.
  • Load the heaviest devices in the rack first.
  • Make sure the rack is level and stable before pulling a device out of the rack.
  • Do not move racks by yourself; at least two people are recommended to move a rack.
  • Cables should be easily identifiable.
