In Raritan products that require Rack Mounting, please follow
these precautions:
Operation temperature in a closed rack environment may
be greater than room temperature. Do not exceed the
rated maximum ambient temperature of the appliances.
See Specifications
Ensure sufficient airflow through the rack environment.
Mount equipment in the rack carefully to avoid uneven
mechanical loading.
Connect equipment to the supply circuit carefully to avoid
overloading circuits.
Ground all equipment properly, especially supply
connections, such as power strips (other than direct
connections), to the branch circuit.
