2-4 Px Series Application Switch Installation and Configuration Guide
Determining the Location
The SummitPx1 is suited for use in the office, where it can be free-standing or mounted
in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Alternatively, the device can be rack-mounted in
a wiring closet or equipment room. Two mounting brackets are supplied with the
device.
When deciding where to install the SummitPx1, ensure that:
• The unit is accessible and cables can be connected easily.
• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
• Air-flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not
restricted. You should provide a minimum of 25mm (1-inch) clearance.
• No objects are placed on top of the unit.
• Units are not stacked more than four high if the switch is free-standing.
Installing the SummitPx1 Application Switch
The application switch can be mounted in a rack or placed free-standing on a tabletop.
Rack Mounting
Caution: The rack mount kits must not be used to suspend the switch from
under a table or desk, or to attach to a wall.
To rack mount the application switch, follow these steps:
1 Place the device the right way up on a hard, flat surface, with the front facing you.
2 Remove the existing screws from the sides of the chassis and retain for step 4.
3 Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the unit.
4 Insert the screws and fully tighten with a suitable screwdriver, as shown in
Figure 2-3.
