4.4Rack-Mounting an SFCS-200BX
The SFCS-200BX is designed to be installed either as a stand-alone unit placed on the desktop, or as a rack-mounted unit using the included rack-mount kit (refer to section 4.2.1). The following items should be addressed when rack- mounting this switch:
WARNING! When rack-mounting equipment, make sure that a hazardous condition is not created due to uneven weight distribution.
CAUTION To prevent damage to your equipment, Cabletron Systems recommends that the max- 
imum operating temperature not exceed 40˚C. 
Consideration must be made if the switch is to be installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, because the ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the
room ambient temperature.
CAUTION
4.4.1Required Tools
Take care not to block the air vents of the switch, as this would compromise the amount of air flow required for proper cooling.
A set of rack-mount brackets, a cable relief strain rail, and 6 Phillips-head screws are supplied with each SFCS-200BX for rack-mounting the unit. You will need to supply a Phillips screwdriver.
WARNING! To prevent user injury and possible damage to equipment, Cabletron Systems recommends 
that at least two people be present when rack-
mounting the SFCS-200BX.
