4.6Rack-Mounting an SFCS-1000

The SFCS-1000 switch is designed to be rack-mounted. 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 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 Take care not to block the air vents of the switch, as this would compromise the amount of air flow required for proper cooling.

CAUTION Ensure that any unpopulated switch board slots are covered with a blank panel before turning on your SFCS-1000. Operating the switch with any of these slots left open can cause a significant temperature rise in a very

short time.
