3.6.1 Avoiding general rack mounting problems
Elevated operating ambient temperature
The operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the
room ambient when installing into a closed or multi-unit rack assembly. So install the
equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient
temperature.

Reduced airflow
Install the equipment in a rack in such a way that the amount of airflow required for
safe operation is not compromised.

Circuit overloading
When connecting the equipment to the supply circuit, consider the effect that
overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.

Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Give attention to
supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of
power strips).
