Rack mounting the mpx100/100b

WARNING!

Mount the mpx100/100b in the rack so that the weight is evenly distributed. An unevenly loaded
rack can become unstable, possibly resulting in equipment damage or personal injury.
This product is supplied with a three-wire cable and plug for the user's safety. Use this power cable
in a properly grounded outlet to avoid electrical shock. An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired
could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the switch chassis. It is the responsibility of the
customer to ensure the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent electrical shock.
If the chassis is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the operating temperature of the rack
environment may be greater than the ambient temperature. Be sure to install the chassis in an
environment that is compatible with the maximum ambient rated temperature.
