Cabling a System 8/10 PLUS in a Rack
When routing cables from one unit to another in a rack,
do NOT allow the cables to pull down on the
equipment. Use “Tie Wraps”, “Rip-Ties” or other
devices to secure the cables at some location in the
rack that is above the rear panel connectors. Loosely
hanging cables may be stepped on, resulting in
damage to cables and equipment, as well as injury to
personnel.
The illustration shows the rear view of a system rack.
The example has the cables tied to the rack above the
connections to the equipment. This allows a clear view
of the back panels and prevents the cable weight from
pulling down on the equipment.
_______ The holes in the top and bottom of the System 8/10 PLUS enclosure are for
cooling. Do NOT cover these holes. This could cause overheating of vital
components.
_______ Maximum ambient operating temperature must not exceed 104° F (40° C).
_______ The mounting rack and all equipment mounted in it must be grounded according
to national and local electrical codes.
_____ Keep power and signal cables separate (power cables on the right and signal
cables on the left.)
