the Hardware Installation instructions below.
Attaching the Switch’s Rubber Feet
Rack-Mount Placement
When rack-mounting the Switch, please observe the
following guidelines
Elevated Operating Ambient If installed in a closed
or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
Reduced Air Flow Installation of the equipment
in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not
compromised.
Mechanical Loading Mounting of the equipment in
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given
to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits
might have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing
this concern.
Reliable Earthing Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of
power strips).
