Mounting the Switch

Placing the Switch on a Flat Surface

When installing the switch on a flat surface, the installation of the rubber feet is recommended to prevent the switch from sliding. Also, the surface must be able to support 15.5 kg (35 lbs) of static weight.

Caution: To ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating, leave a minimum clearance space of 3.81cm (1.5 in.) at the left, right, and rear of the G-Series.

Do not connect the G-Series to the AC power source until instructed to do so later in the installation process.

Precaución: Para asegurar una buena ventilación y evitar que el sistema se sobrecaliente, deje un espacio mínimo de 3.81cm (1.5 pulgadas) con respecto a los lados y a la parte posterior del aparato.

No conecte el dipositivo a la fuente primaria hasta que no se le indique.

To install the rubber feet, proceed as follows:

1.Place the switch upside down on a sturdy flat surface.

2.Remove the four rubber feet from the shipping box.

3.Remove the protective strip from the back of one rubber foot and position it on one of the corners on the bottom of the switch. Press firmly into place. Repeat this procedure to install the remaining rubber feet in the other corners.

4.After installing the rubber feet, return the switch to its upright position.

5.Place the switch in its final location.

Installing the Switch into a Rack

Caution: Before installing the screws as described in this installation procedure, refer to Torque Values” on page A-6.

Precaución: Antes de retirar los tornillos, tal como se describe en las instrucciones de instalación, consulte Torque Values” on page A-6.

The G‐Series Ethernet switch can be mounted in a standard EIA‐310‐D compliant 48.26‐centimeter (19‐inch) equipment rack. To mount the switch into a rack, you must first install the rack‐mount kit, which consists of two brackets. You must provide the mounting hardware to attach the switch brackets to the rails.

Note: The G-Series Ethernet switch (with rubber feet installed) will exceed the 2U high Richmond standard and will not comply with the requirements for mounting in a 19-inch (48.26-centimeter) rack. Remove the rubber feet, if installed, before installing the switch into a rack.

To install the rack‐mount kit and then install the switch into the rack:

1.Place the switch on a sturdy flat surface.

2.Install the left and right mounting brackets provided in the rack‐mount kit to the sides of the switch using the screws provided as shown in Figure 2‐1.
