SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 330
Rack
If rack mounted SLC 8000 advanced console managers are installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, they may require further evaluation by Certification Agencies. The following items must
be considered:
Do not install the SLC unit in a rack in such a way that a hazardous stability condition results
because of uneven loading. A drop or fall could cause injury.
The ambient temperature (Tma) inside the rack may be greater than the room ambient
temperature. Make sure to install the SLC 8000 advanced console manager in an environment
with an ambient temperature less than the maximum operating temperature of the SLC unit.
See Technical Specifications (on page 28).
Install the equipment in a rack in such a way that the amount of airflow required for safe
operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Give particular attention to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Before operating the SLC 8000 advanced console manager, make sure the SLC unit is
secured to the rack.
Port Connections
Only connect the network port to an Ethernet network that supports 10/100/1000 Base-T.
Only connect device ports to equipment with serial ports that support EIA-232 (formerly RS-
232C).
Only connect the console port to equipment with serial ports that support EIA-232 (formerly
RS-232C).
