Circuit overloading

Care should be taken to ensure that the current does not exceed the 
rating of the power source circuitry.  This includes cabling, power 
distribution units, filters and any other devices through which the main 
current flows.  The electrical power rating of the enclosure is 100 - 240 
VAC, 10 - 5 Amps (50/60 Hz) and must be added to the power demands 
of any other electrical devices installed in the equipment rack to arrive 
at a total power consumption figure.  In addition, surge currents must 
be catered for.  Disk drives may consume twice the amount of current 
at start-up time as they do during steady state operation.

Mechanical consideration

When installing the Altos S300 series enclosure the following 
mechanical consideration must be applied.

Mechanical loading

Consideration should be given to the loading of the equipment rack. 
To maintain a low centre of gravity (thus reducing the likelihood of 
instability) racks should be loaded (where possible) from the bottom of 
the equipment rack upwards.  This is recommended to ensure personal 
safety.

Caution:  When installing or removing a rack mount enclosure, 
remove all disk drives.  It is recommended that you work with at 
least one other person when installing an enclosure.  This is 
necessary to prevent personal injury and damage to the enclosure.
