Mounting the BayStack 70-24T 10/100 Ethernet Switch in a Rack

The BayStack 70-24T 10/100 Ethernet Switch occupies a 1.6 unit (1.6u) rack
space and can be installed in most standard 19-inch equipment racks. The rack
must be grounded to the same grounding electrode used by the power service in
the area. The ground path must be permanent and must not exceed 1 ohm of
resistance from the rack to the grounding electrode.

To mount the BayStack 70-24T 10/100 Ethernet Switch in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack, you need these tools and materials:

Two mounting brackets supplied from the Rack Mount Kit

Eight screws supplied from the Rack Mount Kit to attach the mounting
brackets to the switch

Four screws and nylon washers supplied from the Rack Mount Kit to attach
the mounting brackets to the rack

#1 Phillips screwdriver

#2 Phillips screwdriver

To install the switch in a rack:

1.

Attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the switch as illustrated in

Figure 3-1

.

Hold a mounting bracket against each side of the switch and align the
countersunk screw holes in the bracket with the bracket mounting holes in the
switch.

2.

Insert the screws provided in the Rack Mount Kit through each bracket
and into the bracket mounting holes in the switch.

Caution:

When mounting this device in a rack, do not place units directly on

top of one another in the rack. Each unit must be individually secured to the
rack with appropriate mounting brackets. Mounting brackets are not designed
to support multiple units.
