INSTALLING THE SWITCH

Mounting

A TigerSwitch 10/100/1000 unit can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a desktop or shelf. Mounting instructions for each type of site follow.

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 room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range (see page C-2).

•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.

•Grounding: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the mains.
