Selecting a Site
The switch can be installed in a standard 19 inch rack, on a level surface such as
a desktop or bench, or against a wall using the optional wall-mount kit. When
installing the switch, choose a site that:
■ allows adequate airflow around the switch and its vents.
■ is free of dust and moisture.
■ will maintain an ambient temperature range of 0 to 50º C (32 to 122º F) and
a humidity range of 5 to 95% non-condensing.
■ has a reliable and earthed (grounded) power supply, preferably dedicated
and filtered.
■ does not expose cabling to sources of electrical noise, such as radio
transmitters, broadband amplifiers, power lines, electric motors, and
fluorescent fixtures.
■ allows easy access to the switch’s power and cable connections.
■ will allow all related network devices to be connected to the switch
without exceeding maximum cable length limitations as specified in the
AT-8900 Series Hardware Reference.
■ will ensure that when a switch is mounted in a rack, it is mounted evenly
to prevent uneven mechanical loading of the rack.
