Rack Mounting the Switch

Guidelines for Rackmount Installation

The installation site must be within reach of the network cabling and meet the requirements listed below:

Appropriate grounded power receptacles must be located within 152 cm (5 ft) of the location.

A temperature of between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F) must be maintained at the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour.

If an optional redundant power system is going to be installed and connected to the 14‐pin Redundant Power Supply input connector on the rear of the switch, refer to the installation guide shipped with the redundant power system.

Note: To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space of 5.1 cm (2.0 in.) at the left, right, and rear of the switch.

Warning: Before rack-mounting the switch, ensure that the rack can support it without compromising stability. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.
