CHAPTER4 Mounting the Device

Mediant 800 Gateway & E-SBC | Hardware Installation Manual

Rack Mount Safety Instructions: When installing the chassis in a rack, implement the

following safety instructions:

● Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack

assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be

greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to

installing the equipment in an environment with maximum ambient temperature

(Tma) of 40°C (104°F).

● Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the

amount of air flow required for safe operation on the equipment is not compromised.

● Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a

hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

● 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 over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of

equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

● 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). For earthing the

device, see Grounding and Surge Protection on page15.

device can be placed.

2. Place the device on the pre-installed shelf in the rack.

Using Mounting Brackets

The procedure below describes how to mount the device in a 19-inch rack. Rack mounting involves

placing the device on a pre-installed rack shelf (not supplied) and then securing the device to the

rack frame using mounting brackets (supplied).
