Switch Setup
4.6 Rack-Mounting an SFCS-1000
The SFCS-1000 switch is designed to be rack-mounted. The following items
should be addressed when rack-mounting this switch:
WARNING! When rack-mounting equipment, make sure
that a hazardous condition is not created due
to uneven weight distribution.
CAUTION Cabletron Systems recommends that the max-
imum operating temperature not exceed 40˚C.
Consideration must be made if the switch is to
be installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, because the ambient temperature of
the rack environment may be greater than the
room ambient temperature.
CAUTION Take care not to block the air vents of the
switch, as this would compromise the amount
of air flow required for proper cooling.
CAUTION Ensure that any unpopulated switch board
slots are covered with a blank panel before
turning on your SFCS-1000. Operating the
switch with any of these slots left open can
cause a significant temperature rise in a very
short time.
