Rack-Mounting Considerations
Before installing your IP/TV Server in a rack, review the following guidelines:
• Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack.
• Ensure that the room air temperature is below 95°F (35°C).
• Do not block any air vents; usually 6 inches (15 cm) of space provides proper
airflow.
• Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.
• Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during
installation.
• Connect the IP/TV Server to a properly grounded outlet.
• Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.
• Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb (50 kg) on top of
rack-mounted devices.
Caution Use safe practices when lifting.
