Rack Mounting
Before rack mounting the switch, pay particular attention to the following factors:
•
Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient

operating temperature range. Also be sure to leave adequate space around the ventilation
holes in the switch.
•
Mechanical Loading: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
•
Circuit Overloading: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not overloaded.
