Figure 3. Rack Mounting Ear Installation
Figure 4. Installing the Router in a Rack
5.1.1 - Rack Mounting Guidelines
• Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
operating ambient temperature of 104°F.
• Reduced Airflow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading – Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the eect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
• Reliable Earthing – 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).
