4.2 RACK OR CABINET HARDWARE INSTALLATION
You may either place the switch on a rack shelf or mount the switch directly into a 19” wide, EIA-310- E-compliant rack—four-post,
two- post, or threaded methods. The rack system is provided for 1U front-rack and two-post installations.
The rack system includes two separately packaged rail assemblies and two rails that are shipped attached to the sides of the
switch.
WARNING: This is a condensed reference. Read the safety instructions in your Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory information
booklet before you begin.
NOTE: The illustrations in this document are not intended to represent a specific switch.
NOTE: Do not the use the mounted rails as a shelf or a workplace.
4.2.1 RACKMOUNT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Rack loading—Overloading or uneven loading of racks may result in shelf or rack failure, causing damage to the equipment and
possible personal injury. Stabilize racks in a permanent location before loading begins. Mount the components beginning at the
bottom of the rack, then work to the top. Do not exceed your rack’s load rating.
Power considerations—Connect only to the power source specified on the unit. When multiple electrical components are installed
in a rack, ensure that the total component power ratings do not exceed the circuit capabilities. Overloaded power sources and
extension cords present fire and shock hazards.
Elevated ambient temperature—If installed in a closed rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack environment may
be greater than the room ambient temperature. Use care not to exceed the 113° F (45° C) maximum ambient temperature of the
switch.
Reduced air flow—Install the equipment in the rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
Reliable earthing—Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to the supply connections other
than the direct connections to the branch circuit, for example: use of power strips.
Do not mount the equipment with the rear panel facing in the downward position.
