Rack mount installation

NOTE

You need a #2 Phillips screwdriver for installation.

NOTE

For additional support for the stack of switches, refer to the Dell 1U shelf, Dell part number-G118R, which is ordered separately.

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 57.)

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.

Use the following setps to mount devices in rack.

1.Remove the rack mount kit from the shipping carton. The kit contains two L-shaped mounting brackets and mounting screws.

2.Attach the mounting brackets to the sides of the device as illustrated in Figure 19 and Figure 20.

NOTE

PowerConnect B-FCX624 and PowerConnect B-FCX648 brackets are mounted using three screws, as shown in Figure 20.
