The WF-500-B appliance ships with a rack mount
kit that includes two sets of rail assemblies required to install
the appliance in a 4-post rack. This rail kit will fit a rack between
26.5” and 36.4” deep.
The following safety guidelines apply
to rack installation
Elevated ambient operating temperature—If
the WF-500-B appliance is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than the ambient room temperature. Verify that the
ambient temperature of the rack assembly meets the maximum rated
ambient temperature requirements listed in
WF-500-B Environmental Specifications.
Reduced airflow—Ensure that the airflow required for safe
device operation is not compromised by the rack installation and
that you allow at least 30” of clearance in the back of the rack
to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
Mechanical loading—Ensure that the rack-mounted device does
not cause hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit overloading—Ensure that the circuit that supplies
power to the device is sufficiently rated to avoid circuit overloading
or excess load on supply wiring. See
WF-500-B Electrical Specifications.
Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack mounted
equipment. Pay special attention to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power
strips).
The following procedure describes how to
install the WF-500-B appliance in a four-post equipment rack.
