1. N CAUTION When installing on a 19 rack avoid hazards by taking care that 1 It is located within the recommended environmental conditions as the operating ambient temperature of a closed or multi unit rack assembly may exceed the room ambient temperature Once rack mounted enough air will still flow around the machine The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal position You do not overload the circuit s When connecting the machine to the supply circuit overloading the circuits might have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information For example for fuse replacement see the value printed on the product label The machine is earthed grounded in a reliable way and is connected only to an electricity socket with grounding Pay particular attention to situations where electricity is supplied indirectly when the power cord is not plugged directly into the socket in the wall for example when using an extension cable or a power strip and that you use only the power cord that is supplied with the machine To rack mount a machine 1 Attach both ear brackets to the machine To do so remove the screws from each side of the machine 3 on each side and replace those screws through the ear brackets 2 Place the ears of the machine against the rack rails and insert the proper screws not provided t2.
