Check the Installation Site

The SFS 7012 switch is designed to be installed in an existing server cabinet (not a telco cabinet), where it can be mounted in a standard equipment rack. Mounting brackets are integrated with the switch.

Be sure of the following:

•The cabinet has a full earth ground to provide reliable grounding.

•There is enough room to work on the equipment.

•The equipment will have enough clearance for front and rear access.

•The IB cables can be accessed easily.

•Water or moisture cannot enter the switch.

•The ambient temperature stays between 50° - 104°F (5° - 40° C).

•Cabinet doors do not interfere with front-to-back air flow.

The cabinet should have its own power distribution (with switch). If the switch has two power supplies, it is suggested that a cabinet with dual power distribution units is used.

It is recommended that cabinet anti-tip devices are used. This is especially true if installing or removing an SFS 7012 switch in the upper half of the cabinet when the lower half is empty.
