Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the rack is mounted in a clean, vibration-dampened environment to prevent mechanical stress on the backplane.
• Verify that the rack is properly grounded to the cabinet chassis to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the rack to maintain operating temperatures within the 0 to 60 degC range.
• Always power down the system before inserting or removing any monitoring modules to prevent damage to the backplane connectors.
• Check that all module locking mechanisms are fully engaged to ensure electrical continuity and physical stability.
