3.3.2Rackmount Installation

To install the 2E253-49R in a 19-inch rack, Cabletron Systems includes a strain-relief bracket for cable management and an accessory kit containing the rackmount brackets, and mounting screws to attach the rackmount brackets and strain-relief bracket.

Guidelines for the Rackmount Installation

The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet the requirements listed below:

•An appropriate grounded power receptacle must be located within seven feet of the location.

•Maintain a temperature of between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F) at the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour.

To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space

!of 5.1 cm (2.0 in) at the left, right, and rear of the 2E253-49R.

CAUTION

WARNING

Before installing the 2E253-49R into a rack, ensure that the rack supports the device(s) without compromising the stability of the rack. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.
