Rack Mounting the Switch
To install the switch in a 19‐inch rack, you need:
• Two rackmount brackets and mounting screws (rackmount kit) shipped with the
switch.
• Four user‐supplied screws to attach the switch to a standard 19‐inch rack.
Guidelines for Rackmount Installation
The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet the
requirements listed below:
• Appropriate grounded power receptacles must be located within 152 cm (5 ft) of the
location.
• A temperature of between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F) must be maintained at the
installation site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour.
• If an optional redundant power system is going to be installed and connected to the
14‐pin Redundant Power Supply input connector on the rear of the switch,
refer to the
installation guide shipped with the redundant power system.
Attaching Brackets and Installing in Rack
Proceed as follows to install the switch into a 19‐inch rack:
1. Attach the rackmount brackets to the switch, as shown in Figure 3‐6 , using the eight
M3x6 mm flathead screws shipped with the switch.
Note: To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance
space of 5.1 cm (2.0 in.) at the left, right, and rear of the switch.
Warning: Before rack-mounting the switch, ensure that the rack can support it without
compromising stability. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.
Advertencia: Antes de montar el equipo en el rack, asegurarse que el rack puede
soportar su peso sin comprometer su propia estabilidad, de otra forma, daño personal o
del equipo puede ocurrir.
Warnhinweis: Überzeugen Sie sich vor dem Einbau des Gerätes in das Rack von dessen
Stabilität, ansonsten könnten Personenschäden oder Schäden am Gerät die Folge sein.
