SWITCH INSTALLATION

The switch can be installed in a rack or placed on a desktop.

Installing the switch in an equipment rack requires an optional rack mount kit (sold separately). There

are two kit variations currently available:

• 24-inch Full Rack Mount Kit (Part Number 00651382), which supports equipment rack depths

from 24 to 29.75 inches.

• 30-inch Full Rack Mount Kit (Part Number 00651383), which supports equipment rack depths

from 30 to 36 inches.

The rack mount kit includes all the necessary hardware and installation instructions for properly

installing a switch into an equipment rack. Contact a sales representative for more information or

assistance in purchasing a kit.

When installing equipment in a rack, give careful consideration to the following factors:

• The operating ambient temperature of rack-mounted equipment must not exceed the maximum

rated ambient temperature, which is indicated in this installation guide. (See “Operating

Conditions” on page 64.)

• The air flow clearances specified in this installation guide must be maintained within the rack.

(See “Operating Conditions” on page 64.)

• The AC supply circuit for rack-mounted equipment must be capable of supplying the total current

specified on all the labels of the rack-mounted equipment.

• All AC power supply connections must be properly earthed. To ensure the integrity of the earth

connection, special attention must be given to connections that are not directly connected to the

branch circuit (for example, power strips).

• The rack-mounting hardware has been carefully selected to properly support the equipment.

Any alternate rack-mounting hardware must provide equal or superior support.

To place the switch on a desktop:

1. Turn the switch upside down so the case bottom is facing up.

2. Install a self-adhesive pad (included) on each corner of the switch bottom approximately 1 inch

from each side (prevents surface damage).

3. Turn the switch right-side up so the case bottom is facing down and place the switch on a stable

table or platform.

For information on environmental requirements, see “Operating Conditions” on page 64.
