B: Safety Guidelines
This appendix section lists the safety guidelines for:
• RackMounting the ACS
• Operating the ACS
Safety Guidelines for Rack-Mounting the ACS
The following considerations should be taken into account when rack-
mounting the AlterPath Console Server.
Temperature
The manufacturer's maximum recommended ambient temperature for the
AlterPath Console Server is 122 ºF (50 ºC).
Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
If the ACS is 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 compatible with the manufacturer’s
maximum rated ambient temperature. See above.
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.
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 circuits might have on
overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
