UL Statement
Rack Mount Instructions - The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the
installation instructions:
1. 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 maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
2. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of
air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to
the supply circuit and the effect 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.
5. 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).
CAUTION:
The main purpose of the handles is for rack mount use only. Do not use the
handles to carry or transport the systems.
The ITE is not intended to be installed and used in a home, school or public area accessible to the
general population, and the thumbscrews should be tightened with a tool after both initial
installation and subsequent access to the panel.
Warning: Remove all power supply cords before service
This equipment intended for installation in restricted access location.
Access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONS or by USERS who have been instructed
about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that
shall be taken.
Access is through the use of a TOOL or lock and key, or other means of security, and is
controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
