air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous

• 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.
• 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.
