same time. Do not attempt to force open a drawer when the other drawer is already open.
Rack system precautions
The enclosure must be mounted in a rack. Consider the following safety requirements when mounting
the enclosure:
vThe rack construction must be capable of supporting the total weight of the installed enclosure(s) and
the design should incorporate stabilizing features suitable to prevent the rack tipping or being pushed
over during installation or in normal use.
vWhen loading a rack with enclosures, fill from the bottom up; empty from the top down.
vTo avoid danger of the rack toppling over, do not slide more than one enclosure out of the rack at a
time.
vThe system must be operated with low pressure rear exhaust installation. The back pressure created by
rack doors and obstacles is not to exceed 5 Pascals (0.5mm water gauge).
vThe rack design should take into consideration a maximum operating ambient temperature of 35°C.
vThe rack should have a safe electrical distribution system. It must provide over-current protection for
the unit and must not be overloaded by the total number of units installed in the rack. When
addressing these concerns, consider the electrical power consumption rating shown on the nameplate.
vThe electrical distribution system must provide a reliable ground for each unit in the rack.
vThe design of the electrical distribution system must take into consideration the total ground leakage
current from all the PSUs in all the units. The rack might require labeling with “HIGH LEAKAGE
CURRENT. Ground connection essential before connecting supply.”
