The ambient air temperature near the switch must not exceed 40 degrees Celsius. This is particularly important to verify if the switch is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly.

The volume of air flow available to the switch must be at least 300 cubic feet per minute. The air vents must not be blocked.

Follow these safety guidelines for rack-mount installation:

The rack space must be 1U high, 19 inches wide, and 24 inches deep.

All equipment installed in the rack should have a reliable branch circuit ground connection. Do not rely on a connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.

The additional weight of the switch should not unbalance the rack or exceed the rack’s weight limits.

The rack should be mechanically secured to insure stability in the event of an earthquake.

WARNING For safety reasons, when installing this product in an equipment rack, you must consider rack stability against tipping. Please refer to the Hewlett-Packard Rack System/E User's Manual provided with the equipment rack to determine rack stability (also available in electronic format through the HP Web site at http://www.hp.com/racksolutions/). If the necessary stability is not achieved, through the placement of additional equipment or ballast, the equipment rack must be anchored to the building structure before operation.
