Cautions and Warnings Environmental specifications Operating Temperature – If this device is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the rack’s ambient temperature may be greater than the room’s ambient temperature. Make sure the rack environment is compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tma) .
Reliable earthing – Make sure all rack-mounted equipment is grounded. This includes supply connections (e .g . power strips), not only direct connections to the branch circuit. Mise à la terre – Assurez-vous que tout l’équipement est mis à la terre . Ceci comprend les connexions d’alimentation (par exemple, les barres d’alimentation) en plus des connexions directes au circuit de dérivation. Interference – If possible, use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cables instead of Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) .
Grounding — To prevent damage to your equipment, connections that enter from outside the building should pass through a lightning / surge protector, and be properly grounded. Use an electrostatic discharge workstation (ESD) and/or wear an anti-static wrist strap while you work. In addition to the grounding terminal of the plug, on the back panel, there is another, separate terminal for earthing.
