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.
