Rack-Mount Installation
o~ÅâJjçìåí=fåëí~ää~íáçå
DCS-200 units are designed to be rack mounted and are supplied with front rack-mount
hardware. Please note the following important points:
• When rack mounting the unit, remember that the maximum ambient operating
temperature for the unit is 40 degrees C.
• Leave sufficient front and rear space to ensure that the airflow through the fan and
vent holes is not restricted.
• When installing equipment into a rack, distribute the units evenly to prevent
hazardous conditions that may be created by uneven weight distribution.
• Connect the unit only to a properly rated supply circuit.
• Reliable grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
• Rack mount the unit from the front rack ears using four rack screws (not supplied).
Rack threads may be metric or otherwise — depending upon the rack type.
• Install the lower of the two mounting holes first.
