When installing a bridge in a closed or multirack assembly, ensure that the air
temperature, measured at the front panel, does not exceed 35
°
C during
operation.
Ensure that the airflow to the bridge is unobstructed.
Verify that the bridge installation, both with the slides closed and fully extended,
does not unbalance the rack or exceed the rack’s mechanical limits.
Verify that the supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate. Refer to the
bridge’s nameplate for its power requirements.
Verify that all equipment installed in the rack has a reliable ground connection. Do
not rely on a connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
Route and support all cabling and the power cord to ensure that the bridge
moves freely on its slide assemblies without crimping or damaging the power
cord or interfering with other equipment and cabling installed in the rack.
Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack
first.
