2 Installing the device in a rack or cabinet

CAUTION

Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection. To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power connectors.

CAUTION

Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.

CAUTION

If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.

Installing the device in a rack or cabinet

CAUTION

Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over.

NOTE

You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver for installation.

Before mounting the switch in a rack, 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. (Refer to “Operating Environment” on page 45.)

•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.
