Appendix B: Safety, Regulatory and Compliance Information
Safety, regulatory and compliance information for the ACS 6000 console server is described in this
appendix.
Safety and environmental guidelines for rack mounting the console server
The following considerations should be taken into account when rack mounting the Cyclades ACS
6000 advanced console server.
Temperature
The manufacturer's maximum recommended ambient temperature for the ACS 6000 console server
is 122 ºF (50 ºC).
Elevated operating ambient temperature
If the console server 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.
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, such as power strips
or extension cords.
