Rack Mounting

DES-1008M User’s Guide

♦The site is in a fairly cool and dry place. See Appendix A, Technical Specifications, for the acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges.

♦Air-flow around the system and through the heat vents on the sides of the case is not blocked. We recommend that you provide at least 25 mm (1 inch) clearance.

♦No heavy objects are placed on the system.

♦Install the Switch in a sturdy, level surface that can support at least the weight of the system, or in an EIA standard-size rack. For information on installing in a rack, see the next section, Rack Mounting.

When installing the Switch on a level surface, ensure to attach the self- adhesive rubber feet at the bottom of the device. The rubber feet act as cushioning devices.

The Switch can be mounted in an EIA standard-size, 19-inch rack, which can be placed in a wiring closet with other equipment. Follow these steps to install the system in a rack,

1.Disconnect all cables from the system. Remove also the self- adhesive rubber feet at the bottom of the device, if already fitted.

2.Place the Switch on a flat surface with the front panel facing you.

3.Place a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the system. Ensure that the mounting holes coincide with the holes on the mounting bracket.

4.Insert the appropriate screws and tighten them with a suitable screwdriver.
