Rack-mounting 21

If the Switch is installed in a 19-inch rack or closed assembly its local air temperature may be greater than room ambient temperature.

■ The air is as free from dust as possible.

■ The switch is situated away from sources of conductive (electrical) dust, for example, laser printers.

 

■ The unit is installed in a clean, air conditioned environment.

 

■ The AC supply used by the switch is separate to that used by units

 

that generate high levels of AC noise, for example, air-conditioning

 

units and laser printers.

 

■ No more than eight Switch units are placed on top of one another, if

 

the units are free-standing.

 

 

Rack-mounting

The Switch 4200 Family are 1U high and will fit in most standard 19-inch

 

racks.

 

CAUTION: Disconnect all cables from the Switch before continuing.

 

Remove all self adhesive pads from the underside of the Switch if they

 

have been fitted.

 

To rack-mount your Switch:

 

1 Place the Switch the right way up on a hard flat surface, with the front

 

facing towards you.

 

2 Locate a mounting bracket over the mounting holes on one side of the

 

Switch, as shown in Figure 5.
