Installing Avid AirSpeed 5000 Hardware in a Rack

• 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.
• Reliable Grounding — Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be
maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
• Inside Enclosure Access — If you want to extend the enclosure, and remove the top cover,
you must allow 0.5 in (1.3 cm) clearance on top of the enclosure for cover removal.
