Rack Mounting the Switch

To install the switch in a 19‐inch rack, you need:

Two rackmount brackets and mounting screws shipped with the switch.

Four user‐supplied screws to attach the switch to a standard 19‐inch rack.

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 45°C (113°F) must be maintained at the installation site with fluctuations of less than 10°C (18°F) per hour.

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 installing the chassis into a rack, ensure that the rack can support the device(s) without compromising the stability of the rack. Otherwise, personal injury and/or equipment damage may result.

Advertencia: Antes de instalar el chassis en un rack, asegurarse que el rack puede soportar el(los) dispositivo(s) sin comprometer la estabilidad del mismo. De otra forma puede suceder algun tipo de daño personal o del equipo.

Warnhinweis: Schützen Sie sich vor Verletzungen und Geräteschaden, überzeugen Sie sich vor der Installation des Chassis in das Rack, von dessen Stabilität.

Attaching Brackets and Installing in Rack

Proceed as follows to install the switch into a 19‐inch rack:
