Life (Unit: HOURS)
[Figure 1]
When mounting the product on a rack, comply with the following instructions.
1.
Please ensure that the rack inside is not sealed.
2.
Please ensure the air is circulated through the inlet/outlet as shown in the picture.
3.
If you pile up the products or other rack-mount devices as shown in figure 2, secure room
for ventilation or install a vent.
4.
For natural air convection, place the inlet at the bottom of the rack and the outlet on top.
5.
It is strongly recommended that a fan motor is installed at the inlet and the outlet for air
circulation.
(Please fit a filter at the inlet to screen dust or foreign substances.)
6.
It is recommended to keep the temperature inside the rack or around the product at 25°C.
Rack Mount Instructions - The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with
the installation instructions :
A) 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.
B) 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.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) 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.
E) 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).
